About
Elizabeth Zeldin left a career as a trial attorney to pursue a career as an artist in 2008, first focusing on mixed-media and silversmithing and eventually as a watercolorist. In 2013, she helped open a small gallery-studio in Provincetown, Massachusetts which has shown work by emerging artists on Cape Cod as well as showing her own work.
Meanwhile, her work has evolved to explore her affinity with the outer Cape and her more urban roots, Boston where she spent her professional life and New York City where she grew up. She now works entirely in watercolor, and primarily from observation.
Elizabeth has studios in Provincetown and Watertown, Massachusetts. Her work is owned by public and private collectors.
