ARTIST'S STATEMENT
"The mystery of ancient symbols holds a compelling fascination for me. I like to interpret the wonder that I feel from the stories, images and ruins of ancient Greece and Rome. I think we all want a connection to the past, and my work is a way of passing this along to other people." Elizabeth
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Elizabeth Kariotis works in a technique known as lost wax casting to create original handcrafted jewelry. She transforms motifs and symbols from ancient markings into exquisite collections of wearable art. This work reflects both her formal training at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago /University of Chicago and Greek heritage that draws her to images and history of that civilization.
Elizabeth has taken her first name and translated it to the Greek Elisaabet for the name of her company.
Formally trained as an artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and graduate work in architecture and design, her work has been shown at galleries and exhibitions.
