Elizabeth McEntee

Liz McEntee is an artist, writer, teacher and student. From the time she could grip a crayon she has been using color, pattern and narrative to express herself. As a young adult, she studied Fiber Arts at Philadelphia College of Art. She later had the good fortune to attend State University of NY at Purchase and graduate with honors earning a BFA. She meandered through various adventures, eventually finding herself in North Carolina. After retiring, she began teaching art on zoom. In her spare time, she wrote and illustrated her first book “Art Heals”. About teaching at Sawtooth, she says “The impulse to express ourselves and to create beauty deserves encouragement and respect. It is so much fun to see confidence and joy on an artist’s face as they explore and create”.
