About
Liz Gill Neilson is a painter, printmaker, and designer. In her work, she strives to create a mythology of form that reveals the web of connection between humans and the natural world. Liz received her B.A. in visual arts from Columbia University and shows her work in New York, Virginia, Portland, OR, and the Boston area. In 2007-08, she and her husband, composer Duncan Neilson, are visiting artists at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Liz is the Artist in Residence for the Portland Chamber Orchestra, and has recently created multimedia projects for the PCO, the Walla Walla Symphony, and the Middle Eastern Music Ensemble of the College of William and Mary, in collaboration with Duncan, storyteller David Robinson, and other artists and performers. She is working on her own graphic novel, entitled No-Tail, and also works as a freelance designer, designing books and other print material for artists and organizations such as painter LeRoy Neiman, the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, KY, singer-songwriter Noe Venable, Children of the Sun Records, Columbia University, and Dark Horse Books.
In 2006, with Duncan and pianist Deborah Bradley-Kramer, Liz founded the White Buffalo Music and Art Salon series in New York City, a concert series dedicated to exploring the links between music, art and ecology; a gathering of artists, performers, speakers and listeners in an atmosphere of philosophical and artistic enquiry and community.
