behind the canvas
Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Lizzie Wenger (b. 2001) has long been captivated by the colorful, fragile, and unique landscapes of the southwest. After her father’s passing when she was 12, Lizzie began to explore grieving and healing with the outdoors serving as a guide. Climbing, canyoneering, biking, and hiking were some of the activities that empowered her throughout this period, and continue to do so. Now an avid mountaineer, rock climber, and general action sport enthusiast, her free time is spent exploring the mountains and canyons of the west.
Lizzie’s perspective on western landscapes is playful, colorful, and inviting. Her work is intended to inspire connectivity between people and places, to share the healing forces of nature, and communicate her own relationship with the outdoors. Lizzie’s “psychedelic cubist” style has been developing for many years as she navigates different ways to see the world around her.
