Bio

Elizabeth Wolf has been a working illustrator for over 20 years, having earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Michigan School of Art. She moved to Boise in 1996 with her family, after living in Washington, DC for most of her career.

She creates oil pastel illustrations for clients including the National Geographic Society, the Washington Post, Delta Airlines, McDonalds, Mattel and others. She illustrates children's books for Grosset and Dunlap, Handprint Press, Random House, Simon and Schuster, National Geographic and others. Liz's maps appear regularly in Smithsonian Magazine, Americas Magazine, and in the educational market. In addition, her theatre posters advertise the work of Second Stage Theatre (New York City), Syracuse Stage (Syracuse, NY), Arena Stage (Washington, DC), Capital Repertory Theatre (Albany, NY), and Boise Contemporary Theater (Boise, ID)

In Idaho, she has created several site-specific installations. Her award-winning design for a 36 foot-diameter terrazzo floor medallion was installed in the new Boise Airport Terminal in 2003. Elizabeth has received grants and commissions from the Idaho Commission on the Arts and the Boise City Arts Commission. In 2004, she received the Idaho Governor's Award in the Arts.

The Society of Illustrators, Print Magazine, the Illustrators Club of Washington, DC, and others have recognized her work. She is a member of the Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators.
