ABOUT LIZ WALSH

Liz Walsh is a multidisciplinary artist currently living and working in Los Angeles, CA.

Drawing inspiration from California’s sprawling landscapes—both natural and urban—Walsh creates intricate tableaux that blur the boundaries between the organic and the surreal. Her work is infused with motifs of plant life, animal forms and technological elements, weaving together vibrant pop aesthetics with overgrown, untamed gardens. These compositions act as portals into internal landscapes, reflecting emotions, memories and subconscious narratives.

Recurring themes in Walsh’s work include the depiction of cockpits, mythic creatures and exaggerated flora—symbolic elements that explore the tension between control and chaos, the natural and the artificial. Spirits, technology, and entropy emerge as central forces in these worlds, evoking a sense of wonder while also hinting at the fragility of human and ecological systems. Through the interplay of these elements, Walsh seeks to both entice and unsettle the viewer, offering a vision of reality that feels at once familiar and otherworldly.

Her practice spans a variety of media, including clay, video, and painting, each chosen for its ability to expand the dialogue between materiality and meaning. Whether sculpting organic forms, layering digital imagery or composing painterly dreamscapes, Walsh’s work invites the viewer to navigate a space where fantasy and reality continuously collide.
