E DAGGAR ART / LIZ

I create atmospheric images from ink and paint in the forms of etching, drawings, and paintings.

​

Art that moves me feels timeless and atmospheric. I’m drawn to images in which new interpretations become apparent at subsequent viewings, the way a book takes on new meaning when re-read years later.

 

The mark-making and exploratory processes of my art have become a way to connect— with emotions, memories, buried responses to the external—by specifically not focusing on them. I try to focus on the process of making. (I often focus on the outcome, too; it’s a difficult habit to break as a representational artist!) You can see some of my process on Youtube.

 

I find the tools and materials of analog art particularly suited to this endeavor. Working with my hands tends to quiet thinking in favor of feeling. You work by feel, feel your way forward or through. It connects me to to my inner world, and thereby opens a way to connect with the inner worlds of others.

I’m an artist, graphic designer, and illustrator. I live, work, and make art in Brooklyn, where I studied art and design at Pratt Institute. I sell my art, and I’m a member of the following printmaking guilds:

Manhattan Graphics Center

Print Club of New York

Society of American Graphic Artists
