Elizabeth Spotswood Alexander-Spencer

Elizabeth Spotswood Alexander-Spencer has a Bachelors of Fine Art from Murray State University, Murray KY, and a Masters of Fine Art from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, Dartmouth Mass. She also attended the Savannah College of Art in Savannah, GA and Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC.

Spencer’s work deals with concepts revolving around the human condition, emotional space, and the balance between what is absolute and what is wished for. She collages wood, paint, paper and a variety of other materials to create layered and visceral narratives.  Her work has been described as rich, dramatic, wooden and mixed media narratives that construct a fantastical reverie.

Currently, Alexander-Spencer is a studio artist and Instructor of Fine Arts at Craven Community College in New Bern, NC.
