Elisabeth Arzt

Elisabeth Arzt is a Maryland-based multidisciplinary artist and founder of Fine Arzt Studio. Raised on a Western Maryland farm, she draws inspiration from nature and memory, working across sculpture and jewelry. With a BFA in Sculpture from the Corcoran College of Art and Design, she has explored illustration, chainsaw carving, costuming, welding, and metalsmithing.

Her practice bridges the monumental and the intimate—transforming tree trunks into large-scale carvings while repurposing remnants into fine art jewelry. By merging woodworking and metalsmithing, Arzt creates sustainable, heirloom-quality pieces that honor material, craft, and story.

Her work has been exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Craft Week, Strathmore Mansion, and the Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art, and is held in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.
