About Me

Elizabeth currently lives in New Orleans, Louisiana working as assistant manager of the 2001 Magazine Street Gallery. She has a Bachelors in Art from Birmingham-Southern College and Masters in occupational therapy from University of Alabama at Birmingham. "During my entire life, I have had a love for art. I recognize its healing and therapeutic nature in both my own work and in working with others. In my different experiences during undergraduate and graduate school I have worked with children and adults using art in a therapeutic nature. I love to create art of varying types. I would like to share some of my work that I have been working on in the last few months. I hope to frequently update it with more work and stories! Thus far, I have created children's paintings for various friends, creative penmanship for weddings and events, mosaic wall hangings and painted clear walking canes. Please let me know if I can create something for you or a loved one. All of my work is customizable according to your needs. Please post or email any questions that you may have. I hope to offer you something that you will love and is memorable for you."

Custom hand painted walking canes




I first began painting these clear lucite canes a couple of years ago. The idea originated one Christmas as a gift for my mother who has had a physical disability since birth. I wanted her to have something fun and beautiful that was not store bought or that made her feel old. The use of paint on a clear cane seemed unique and beautiful. I painted several more for family members and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to share them with other people. Many people, young and old require the use of a walking cane and my hope is that I can paint accordingly for each individual! Rather it is something beautiful or funky--I will cater it for you or your family member's liking. The walking canes posted in these images are also for sale. Please post or email me any questions or requests!
