Liz does a lot of things, from remodeling her home to painting wall murals, and everything in between (but she will tell you she absolutely does not iron!). Most important though, is that she started this company on her own, in a foreign country and has made it work.
Chief artist, instructor and owner of Ravencroft Graphics and Fine Art, Elizabeth has been creating art, and cooking great food for over 30 years and has taught medical and scuba classes for over 10 years. Over the years, she has worked with oils on canvas, watercolors, pottery, sculpture and photography and created many new, different and unusual dishes for her family...
The hardest part she says is remembering what she did and writing it down as she rarely follows instructions (except with cheeses!)!
Currently she does digital graphics, illustrations and games for education, utilizing cutting edge technology.
Her goal is to create a space where creativity is the governing body and the artists the outlets to great art.
She developed the culinary division in response to many people asking for her to teach them international dishes.
Part of her goals includes giving new local and distant artists a place to develop and showcase their talent. She also opened an English school after many requests.
Elizabeth holds a BS degree in law enforcement, a degree in forensics as well as a MS in emergency management. She has been in the fire and emergency medical service field for over 15 years as both practitioner and instructor. she is also a rescue diver and divemaster with PADI.

This department will be responsible for recieving, reviewing, editing and publishing both our in-house books for education, our own original works , novels and manga as well as accepting new work from up and coming new writers.
