About

Elizabeth (Liz) Rennie is an emerging mixed media painter and graphic and digital designer based in her hometown Lawrence, Massachusetts. Focusing on the documentation of human experiences and emotions, her body of work allows her to explore the relationships between color, material, space, and typography.

Liz attended Suffolk University, receiving a BFA in Graphic Design (2016), and is pursuing an MFA in Visual Arts at Lesley University. She currently exhibits her work in local galleries in the Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley area and actively participates in Lawrence’s artistic community. Her work is the recipient of awards in exhibitions including the 2021 ART Off the Wall by the Brookline Arts Center and the 2021 Emerging Artists Exhibition by the Cambridge Arts Association.

While art-making is the focal point of Liz’s interests, in her spare time she also enjoys collecting vinyl’s, listening to DIY punk bands, and overindulging in coffee and burritos.
