Liz Helfer Studios

...every mind has a right to be known by its soundest and maturest expression.
— Lewis Mumford

The Artist

I developed a love for sculpture early on, working with modeling clay and paper. After graduating with my BFA in 2010, from Alfred University, I continued my artistic development through residencies and projects across the United States and Europe. In 2022, I completed my Masters of Liberal Arts in Museum Studies at Harvard Extension School, with a focus on nonprofit management. I currently serve as the Public Arts & Culture Planner for the City of Watertown, MA, and the President of the Governor Wentworth Arts Council in the lakes region of NH.

Statement

Liz Helfer Studios is located in Waltham, MA, where Liz has focused on metal because of its historical complexity and perceived value. Recently, she has moved into a mixed media practice that addresses our environmental peril.

Liz has traveled widely to create sculptures across the United States and Europe, always landing back in New England. You can find her permanent public sculptures in Latvia, New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.
