April 2025 Member of the Month

Elizabeth De La Torre, a native of Mooresville, NC, has been passionate about art for as long as she can remember. Growing up, she was inspired by her mother and grandmother, who decorated cakes, and her family members, many of whom are artists. "It is truly in my blood," she says. 

"My artwork encourages viewers to think outside the box and embrace individuality, drawing inspiration from the natural world and your surroundings. It’s important that we recycle and take care of the world around us. If we don’t, there will be nothing for our kids and future generations. With that said, I try my best to use recycled products. To think we can give life to something that was meant to be trashed makes me happy."
