Meet El Betts!

cc: Hey there! My name is El, short for Elouise with a u, and I use they them pronouns Im currently living in Chicago with my partner, 2 cats, 3 rats, and 2 roommates and one of their cats. I love cooking, doing puzzles, playing video games (mostly minecraft and stardew valley), and watching anime, and obviously doing art. My art practice is mostly painting, with some ceramics, print, fibers, and sculpture, and I typically make art about my own identity, but also themes of illness both mental and physical, sex work, loss, and ideas around body and self. Ive also been working with teaching ever since I was a kid myself, from being a camp counselor to volunteer arts classes. So nice to meet you!
