Hello, I'm Elizabeth Janss.

Elizabeth Janss sculpts biological structures that traditionally are only observed and discussed in the scientific context. The sculptures may seem abstract in nature​,​ but they draw upon actual neurons​,​ tissues​,​ and organs​,​ exploring the realm of perception and emotion as they manifest in physical form. Elizabeth currently works in developmental neuroscience at Cedars Sinai Hospital as a compliment to her ceramic practice. She has received a bachelor’s and master’s degree in in neuroscience from UPenn​,​ as well as a law degree from UC Hastings. When not creating art or working in the lab​,​ Elizabeth spends time with her three children​,​ tiny dog named Zeus​,​ giant horse named Gigi​,​ and the cuddliest cat named Diesel.
