After studying at the Savannah College of Art and Design and North Carolina State University, Liz established herself as both an artist and advocate for American craftsmanship. Liz is the founder and curator of The Duck Gallery, and co-owner of Tar Heel Trading Company, an American handcraft gallery, alongside her husband, Jamie.
