Elizabeth Umanzor is a Salvadoran-American artist based in Houston, Texas, whose work is deeply rooted in her love for nature and her commitment to environmental awareness. Inspired by bird watching, hiking, traveling, and tending her pollinator garden, she draws from her everyday encounters with nature to create artwork that celebrates the beauty and significance of local ecosystems. Blending realism with expressive color and symbolism, Elizabeth often incorporates elements of her Salvadoran heritage while centering the landscapes and wildlife of Texas in her public art. Elizabeth creates site-specific murals that reflect both the identity and ecology of their surroundings. Through research-driven design, she builds visual narratives that connect people to place, showing how native species, cultural heritage, and collective memory intertwine. Her work encourages viewers to slow down, observe, and develop a greater understanding of the natural world around them. Elizabeth hopes to inspire communities to care for the environments they call home.
