Los Angeles-born artist Elizabeth McGrath has always had an eye for the strange beauty in the grotesqueries of life; this appreciation is nowhere more evident than in her work.
Inspired by the relationship between the natural world and the detritus of consumer culture, she brings forth a new cavalcade of creatures from the darker corners of the streets, the city, the imagination.
It is this melancholy interaction between man-made status symbols and suffering specimens of nature that make up her intricate body of work.
LA power couple Liz McGrath and Morgan Slade are both accomplished widely exhibited visual artists and also performing musicians in their band “Miss Derringer”, living and working together making creative magic look like an everyday occurrence.
