Board Member
Elizabeth joined our 501(c)(3) Women Donors Network (WDN) in 2017. She has worked in the arts for twenty-five years as a gallery director, photography editor, and museum trustee. She is the founder and director of Ten Nineteen, a New Orleans art space that explores new ways to approach social, environmental, economic, and political challenges, engaging the arts as both a lens and a catalyst.
