Elizabeth Sanchez was born in Chihuahua, Mexico. When she was nineteen years old she moved to Utah to study art at Brigham Young University, where she earned a BFA in painting. She now lives in Spanish Fork, Utah with her children and husband. Her repertoire consists of  Portraiture and Figurative works. As a representational and narrative artist, she works from memory, finding her most interesting subjects in the people around her. Elizabeth observes human expression and translates her observation into her paintings, celebrating the intimacy of the moment and at the same time paying tribute to the past.
