52 Portraits 03: Liz Davis — Misty Lyn Bergeron

Is the word "God" loaded for you? What word, if any, do you prefer to use instead? Artist and waitperson Liz Davis sat down with me in her studio on the outskirts of Ann Arbor, MI, to talk about this, and about how her painting is a form of meditation that brings her a sense of connectedness. We also discuss her struggle with allowing herself to identify as an artist first, how being aware of her surroundings can become a practice in gratitude, and how all of this ties in with her struggle with anxiety and depression.
