The Artist in me

I am a teacher, interested in jewelry, printmaking, photography, painting, bookbinding and technology. As a positive forward thinker I am always listening and learning.

I live in the Pacific Northwest. I love my teaching career from PMC jewelry classes, printmaking and cyanotype print classes. I am a Career Advisor and facilitator to CG artists working in the Entertainment Industry.

I love sharing the wealth of knowledge and helping people succeed in their dreams of careers, art and life. 

My name is Liz McDonald and I look forward to meeting you in one of my classes.

 

About the name CoveCoast.  I am inspired by the nature that surrounds me from the ocean or forest. My jewelry and prints are designed with Pacific Northwest botanicals in mind, shapes, colours or impressions.  I hope you enjoy the pieces.
