Jocelyn Elizabeth is a Massachusetts-based artist, writer and mom. She became an artist after her uncle’s tragic brain injury made her question everything, at a time when she felt trapped by the stress of a corporate HR career and challenges of motherhood. Her practice became the place where she could create the freedom she’s seeking and the outlet she needs to be the mother her child needs. She creates vibrant and expressive mixed media paintings with a focus on abstraction and modern coastal landscapes, inspired by her surroundings in New England, as well as time spent living in Southern California, and Normandy, France. Elizabeth’s work, which often incorporates her own photography and original writing, explores what it means to be alive, and she is interested in how we can live differently and better alongside the earth and each other. She currently lives and works north of Boston, MA. She holds a B.S. in Human Resources Management and a B.A. in French from Fairfield University (Fairfield, CT). She has participated in numerous exhibitions including at the University of Rhode Island (Providence, RI); Boston Office of Arts and Culture’s Fay Chandler Emerging Artist Exhibit (Boston, MA); Silvermine Gallery (New Canaan, CT); and The Rockwell Gallery at The Salmagundi Club (New York, NY). Public art projects include a commission by the town of Wellesley, MA (2022), Cow Parade New England (2023) and “We Share One Sky” mural project with Newburyport Art Association (2024). She was an Artist-in-Residence at Chateau d’Orquevaux (France, 2024), and is a member of Cape Cod Art Center, Cambridge Art Association and the National Association of Women Artists as well as a Click Pro Elite photographer. Her art and writing has been published in Uppercase Magazine, All She Makes Magazine, Click Magazine, Humana Obscura, and the In Her Space Literary Journal. She is represented by Wild Apple for art licensing. She is committed to environmental consciousness, keeps her studio free of animal products, and works to be an ally and advocate, with a specific focus on brain injury survivors and neurodivergent individuals as well as women, children and the LGBTQIA+ community.
