| Elizabeth Lenci-Downs was born in
Virginia, Minnesota within a mosaic of ethnic cultures, surrounded
by woodlands, lakes and the ancient Laurentian Mountains. Her
European heritage enriches her writings and gives force to her
paintings. She has been honored for her work with foreign
students and her efforts against racial discrimination. She is
a graduate of National Louis University and Columbia University with
degrees in history, psychology and education. Since Lenci-Downs
left teaching to become a professional artist and author she has
been honored by her peers as 1995 YWCA Woman of the Year in Fine
Arts, for Maricopa County, Arizona, and has received membership in
the National League of American Pen Women, in Letters. She has
two children and lives with her husband, Floyd L. Downs, in Fountain
Hills, Arizona. |
