About the Artist
Elizabeth Faraci is a multimedia artist based in Denver, Colorado. She holds a B.F.A. from Pitzer College and a Master’s degree from Pratt Institute. She explores a variety of mediums including painting, photography, printmaking, mixed media and use of non-traditional materials like sewing thread, torn post-it notes, EL wire and downed branches to help drive her concepts. Her work is affiliated with the RiNo Art District artists.
Recent work includes her series Groundscapes, large-scale, macro-photography celebrating the complexity, charm and quiet beauty of what is often overlooked at our feet. Photo prints from this series have been painted to recognize active life during dormant stages. Faraci integrates overlayed elements like blank bird silhouettes, swinging monkeys and nature-adjacent magazine cutouts to suggest human instincts like overlooking, nesting and "monkey brain".
She stretches her exploration of perception into her series of string and acrylic paintings, creating shapes that are simultaneously recognizable and unrecognizable.
In her most recent series, using both acrylic paint and iridescent straws, Faraci explores the juxtaposition of nature and technology and how in the age of tech and entertainment, natural beauty and synthetic beauty coexist; a question that can also be asked in fashion, music and communication in general.
