Elizabeth Heatherington's background in custom jewelry design and fabrication brings a fine eye for design and detail in her woodworking. She only recently began showing her wood pieces, as of August of 2003, but has already received considerable attention for her unique designs, use of materials and superior craftsmanship.

Elizabeth's designs utilize many techniques, including sculpture, mosiac inlay, and intarsia overlay. She works with a variety of domestic and exotic woods, both hard and soft, straight grained and figured. She will often incorporate a medley of woods and employ a variety of artistic techniques in a single design to achieve a distinctly unique result.
