Hi! I'm Liz Seidemann, a Montclair-based illustrator and painter who brings landscapes, portraits, and character studies to life with bold color and thoughtful line work. I enjoy collaborating with communities, schools, and creative teams to tell stories through art. Beyond making pictures, I love mentoring others, coordinating art projects, and helping ensure high-quality work from concept to finish. My experience teaching painting, coordinating inventories, and working with editors keeps me curious, organized, and ready for the next creative challenge.
