Elisabeth Running is a ceramic artist located in Silver Spring, Maryland. She received a BFA in studio art from Syracuse University in 2020. Although she entered art school with a focus in oil painting, during her last two years at SU she fell in love with ceramics and subsequently set up a home studio following graduation.

Elisabeth’s work is strongly influenced by a lifelong appreciation for the natural world. Through experiencing and observing nature, on hikes or in her own backyard, she creates whimsical porcelain sculptures that endeavor to share the curiosity and wonder that she feels towards her subjects.
