Elizabeth Jean Younce (b. 1993 Newport, RI) is a visual artist working primarily in Printmaking and Illustration. Specifically, through the mediums of Lithography and Intaglio her work functions as a psychological investigation of the flora and fauna inhabiting our world. While primarily (and proudly) a printmaker, Elizabeth has produced her prints in conjunction with installation, sculpture, bookbinding, found object, drawing, and painting. In addition to her Fine Art studio practice, Elizabeth is also the owner of Mustard Beetle where she sells mainly screenprints, relief prints, and giclée prints, on paper and on fabric. Because of Mustard Beetle, Elizabeth is able to simultaneously function as a Fine Artist and a Commercial Illustrator.

Elizabeth received her MFA in Printmaking from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2018 and her BFA in Illustration and Printmaking from the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in 2015. Elizabeth has master-printing experience from Gemini G.E.L. for just shy of a year, and Tandem Press for three years. She has also received many awards such as the Juror’s Award at the Atlanta Print Biennial (2019), the Frogman’s Graduate Student Scholarship (2018) , Frogman’s Design Scholarship (2016), a University Wide Fellowship to the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2015), and an Honorable Mention in 3x3 Magazine (2015). She has exhibited nationally in many cities such as Brooklyn, NY, Los Angeles, CA, San Francisco, CA, Chicago, IL, Portland, OR, Omaha, NE, Lincoln, NE, Knoxville, TN, Madison, WI, and Savannah, GA, as well as internationally in Berlin, Germany, Cairo, Egypt, and Lacoste, France.
