About

Elizabeth Blessing (b. 1995) is a Boston-based artist. She received her BA in Studio Art at Boston College (2017) and her MFA in Studio Art at Tufts University/School of the Museum of Fine Arts (2022).

Blessing’s practice explores transformation, ecology, and the body through geometric abstraction and symbolic, figurative imagery. Her thesis work centered on visualizing the mycorrhizal network through intricate patterns drawn across gridded compositions and interwoven within handmade paper.

Her current work shifts toward more embodied and symbolic forms. Figures appear in states of transition—merging with plant life, dissolving into landscape—within cycles of growth, decay, and renewal. Rooted in these patterns, processes, and systems, her practice brings together scientific and mythological ways of understanding and being.
