Artist Statement

Elizabeth Dougherty is an Oakland, CA-based multi-media artist engaged in creating functional metal art out of recycled materials. As mass-production has overrun the creation of everyday items, Dougherty's work provides the opportunity to enliven a space with the energy of original design. Her unusual candlesticks, lamps, birdbaths, fountains, and music stands are created by combining found metal pieces, steel and copper together with light and water. You may experience her work first hand at the following locations: Currently: Green City Gallery Berkeley, CA (recycled art: candlesticks, mixed media, photogrpahs, decorative wall lighting) Green City Gallery Opening This Sunday, July 22nd at 12 noon, the Green City Gallery invites you to join our grand opening celebration! 1950 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley * Two Blocks North of the Berkeley BART Event Program Come by the Gallery at 12 noon to contribute to the community mural, enjoy music, snacks and mingling.
