Lives and works in Philadelphia, PA

Elizabeth Crawford is a Philadelphia-based artist from Detroit, MI. Her practice primarily manifests in the form of contemporary still lifes which seek to reveal discreet emblems present in carefully situated clutters of quotidian objects. Her recent exhibitions include "Parking on the Pavement" (Jack Shainman Gallery, 2018) and "Untitled" (Chroma Gallery, 2017).
