Dualistic in imagery, concept, and process, Liz Young’s work investigates themes that evoke feelings of loss and an acknowledgment of the inevitability of nature, its beauty, and decay.

Her work has been supported by Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), MOCA in Los Angeles, Santa Monica Museum of Art and Hallwalls in New York, Molndal Konsthall, Sweden, Long Beach Museum, the Skirball Center, Kappa Museum, Prague, and the Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department as well as commercial galleries.

Paul Getty Fellowship.
