Elizabeth Kinaham

Elizabeth Kinahan received her Bachelors of Fine Art degree from the College of Saint Elizabeth in Morristown, New Jersey in 2004. The following year she packed up the car and headed west, in a move that would transform her creative process immensely. Although she had planned to move to Arizona, a stop in the town of Durango, Colorado became the beginning of an 21 year- and going- love affair with the high desert. Having been drawn to animals and the natural world all of her life, Elizabeth has found deep fulfillment in the mountains of the southwest. She currently spends her days painting in a cabin just outside of town, where she is routinely visited by the wild animals moving between woodlands and river. She and her husband are regenerating the long neglected soil, growing a garden and orchard, and creating an edible food forest for wildlife and humans alike. Elizabeth’s art aims to add joy, beauty and compassion into the world, and serves to benefit organizations that rescue and protect both wild and domesticated animals.
