Elizabeth Dworkin is a painter who lives in New York City, and Summit, New York. She graduated from Cornell University with a BFA in 1965. She moved to Boston, Mass, where she became involved with an active group of like-minded artists, who were determined to create a conducive atmosphere and market for contemporary, abstract art in Boston. Through their passion and efforts, they founded the Boston Visual Artists Union, and pressured both the Institute of Contemporary Art, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts into expanding and supporting their own exhibitions and departments of contemporary art.

From about 1971-1995, she was a highly sought after teacher, throughout the East Coast University system, teaching painting and drawing to graduate and undergraduate students, from Mass. College of Art, Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design, Princeton University, to Florida International University, and many places in between. She was a lecturer all over the country, and was a Juror for the Ohio Arts Council in 1984 & 1990.

In 1980, she moved to New York to further her career and face more challenging circumstances. She has showed in NYC consistently since then, and finds the atmosphere stimulating and productive. She has one son.
