Elizabeth Benotti
Elizabeth born and raised in Massachusetts before being called west to earn a BFA at the University of Colorado in Boulder. It was there that she took my first ceramics class. Upon graduation, she was accepted into the Resident Artists program at the Mendocino Art Center. There she worked alongside a small group of dedicated artists and explored the relationships between everyday objects, color, image and form.
After that year, Elizabeth opened her very first online shop and continued to dig into her work; working first from a garage in Boulder and a small personal studio in Mendocino.
In 2010, she returned to the east coast to make ceramics my full-time career. After stints in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, life finally brought Elizabeth to the small, coastal town of Eliot, Maine. She work out of a solo studio just a hop skip and a jump away from her home.
