Artist Statement

Elizabeth Dougherty is an Oakland, CA-based multi-media artist currently focusing on functional metal art. 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: Julie's Coffee and Tea Garden Alameda, CA Concrescent Arts (mixed media madness) November 2006 Show Opening: November 3 7-9 pm Green Fusion Deign Center San Anselmo, Marin, CA candlesticks, lamp, music stand, birdbath, fountain bluehouse Baltimore, MD candlesticks
