Elizabeth Dougherty, Ph.D. is a mixed bag multi media artist, engaged in “garbage collection and redistribution." When not educating Californians on the beauty of water conservation and reuse as director of Wholly H2O, she is melting metal, wiring kinetic fountains with LED lighting, transluscifying images, and finding ongoing delight in the castoffs of bees. With her stuudio located in Bay 7 of American Steel Studios in West Oakland, Elizabeth works exclusively with the detritus of the earth and it’s inhabitants.
