Elizabeth Davant

Elizabeth Davant spent her teenage years taking as many art classes as possible, then went on to receive a degree in Fine Art from Loyola University of Chicago. She found herself anxious about creating and sharing her work after graduation, so she began working in galleries and focused on a career in art administration.

Realizing she was not alone in her creative anxieties, Elizabeth wanted to help others learn to manage the emotions that can block one from their goals. She returned to school, earning a MA in community counseling, with a certificate in expressive art therapy, from Appalachian State University. After a decade working as a counselor, she returned to creating and sharing her own work. As an artist, she enjoys the process of watching a visual story coming together, with images and details that remind her of the ever changing story of our lives and the world.
