ABOUT

Elizabeth Coffey is a Virginia-based mixed media artist, working primarily with oil paint, lace fabric and canvas. Her practice revolves around figurative painting, particularly representations of women that explore the tension between what is visible and what remains hidden beneath the surface. She enjoys pushing the boundaries of materials, often repurposing domestic fabrics to symbolically challenge historical constraints. She received her BFA in Graphic Design from Virginia Commonwealth University, and her love of color and design strongly influences her work.
