Elizabeth Morisette is a graduate of NCSU College of Design and received a Masters Degree from Maryland Institute College of Art. She has been exhibiting her weavings and sculptures for 25 years. In the Fall of 2020 she was featured in Hyperallergic for her work in the University of Denver’s ‘Mask’ exhibit. She has also been featured American Craft Magazine, The Denver Post, and the New York Times. Currently, she is teaching Fibers at Colorado State University.

An important aspect of Morisette’s work is the use of repourposed materials. Using pieces with a history draws viewers in to experience objects in a new manner. The viewer is invited to remember a time, place, or person that they once knew. Though the objects are common, the memories invoked by the work is as varied as the individuals who view them.

Bringing Art to the Community is also an important part of Morisette’s career. She has worked as an Artist in Residence teaching classes for the Maryland State Arts Council, The JCC of Greater Baltimore, Elderhaus Adult Care, Colorado State University, Fort Lewis College, New Belgium Brewery, The Museum of Art Fort Collins and The Denver Art Museum.
