Liz Chagnon

Liz Chagnon's artwork explores a place between the narrative of illustration with the looseness of abstraction. Weaving vine, limb, and root imagery, she draws parallels between the life cycles of both human and natural worlds; each line an acknowledgment of personal transformation. Chagnon believes that our lives will never be walked on straight paths. Instead, they wind, twist, break and expand from each event. Through loss, memory, and expectation, wounds are either exposed or cultivate positive growth. It is how one chooses to incorporate each moment that defines them.

Chagnon earned her B.A. in Art History from Western Kentucky University. In 2018, she ventured on a grant-funded pilgrimage, from the Spanish hills of the Hermitage of San Baudelio, to multiple esteemed museums in the United States, and invited art institutions and patrons alike to consider the effects of re-contextualized art imagery. Chagnon is also an accomplished videographer and producer who has worked on numerous art documentaries.

When not painting or filming, she can be found hanging with her rescue lab-mix Lucy in her home outside the Nashville area.
