About The Artist

Born in Cuba, Elizabeth migrated with her family at age five to Miami in 1967. A powerful trigger and turning point came at age six when her godmother, Maggie, gave her a large set of watercolors, igniting a passion for art that grew continuously through the years. As she describes it, “When I picked up that paintbrush, I just could not let go. That year, in 2nd Grade, I won a blue ribbon in an art contest.” This early recognition fueled her passion, and Lazo asserts, “For years in school, I never stopped using my paintbrush, and took every art class available.” Elizabeth is a self-taught artist, that works in Mixed Media Art, which covers a broad spectrum of mediums. She specializes in recycled and reclaimed textiles, broken jewelry and found objects. I challenge myself when it comes to my technique. It’s all about being human, discovering, playing, dancing going with the flow, getting my hands dirty, recycling and making mistakes that many times turn out to be beautiful discoveries.
