Elizabeth Kane, known as EKvisualartist on Instagram and X, is a visual artist whose practice combines drawing, photography and digital tools. She is also the founding member of South Tyneside Creatives. Based in South Tyneside much of her work is participatory, focusing on engaging less frequent arts audiences, children and young people.
Her work is often connected to physical & mental ‘self-space’. She is interested in the current focus of many arts funders on ‘place-based’ approaches and exploring the heritage, culture and nature of areas and people’s relationship to and with them.
Feedback from commissioners and participants reflects Elizabeth’s commitment to high quality co-creation and excellent experiences building confidence in others creativity.
