Lizzie DiSilvestro

I always find myself saying, “self-awareness is my favorite quality,” because it signals to me a certain level of understanding of one’s self that is only produced through personal exploration and intimate knowing. This notion also rings true when the same careful observation is applied to the seemingly insignificant daily details as to the soul-affirming, mind-boggling moments. 

Intoxicating Excitement of Life

Along with my thirst for the deep, enriching, and passionate moments of life, I possess a proclivity for over analyzing and thought rumination, often leading to emotional anguish. The creation of art provides time alone with my thoughts necessary to know myself more deeply, ponder the good and bad of life, and expand my consciousness of it all without having to carry it with me. I create art for people that ride the intoxicating excitement of life as well as the unsightly difficulties, because it doesn’t all have to be wallowed in, but these moments are undoubtedly worth momentary immersion.

Her Surrounding Milieu

Growing up in Kansas City, Lizzie was exposed to a wide range of rich culture and world-class experiences from a young age. Greatly influenced by her grandmother, a vibrant and strong female with a passion for all things artistic, Lizzie has been encouraged to create for as long as she’s been alive. With a vivacious personality and strong sense of self, the question has never been would Lizzie express herself, but how. The medium of choice has changed over the years, but paint and fiber have remained constant throughout recent years. With a background in science and nursing, Lizzie takes an analytical look at the temperament of her surrounding milieu, those that inhabit it, and the interplay between the two as a mirror for her art.
