Elizabeth King is a Los Angeles based artist, whose works have been well received regionally, nationally and internationally. She holds two degrees in art, graduating with honors with a BA in studio art. Upon completion of her baccalaureate degree, she displayed in art exhibitions at numerous museums, universities, colleges, libraries and private and regional and international juried gallery exhibitions. Her talents are varied and include painting, installation, drawing and photography.
She has used modern critical theory within the meaning of her work, interpreting and bridging several art practices like elements within memory, routes and senses for mapping and myth. She enjoys creating works in which the viewer interprets of discovery within themselves. Structure in her paintings is created through the illusion of atmospheric space.

Some of her works are housed in museum collections. For example in 2003, her work entitled, “Florida Gator,” was added to the Kyoto Museum of Art traveling exhibition, collection, and catalogue. After displaying her series of paintings, in a juried, public library, solo exhibition, “Healer of Lambarene I,” was acquired in 2003 and displayed in the Hadley Luzerne Public Library collection, in upstate New York. The Karpeles Manuscript Library, Permanent collection, in 2001, added “Lazarus,”
