SELECTED PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS Elizabeth currently teaches studio classes on the Tarpon Springs Campus. Early in her career she received a MOBIL CORPORATION GRANT for the exploration of new materials. Over the past twenty eight- years her diverse and varied work has developed in this same spirit of exploration through a variety of themes and a wide scope of materials and technology. Elizabeth has created large-scale projects in the public art arena. Many of these projects integrate writing components and unusual collaborative ventures. Projects include: Tampa’s Southern Transportation Plaza, Charlotte, North Carolina’s Eastland Transit Center, Tampa International Airport, The Gainesville Solar Walk, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Libraries, and USF’s Sarasota campus, outdoor mosaic, Classical Divide. Her artworks involve ideas that are carefully integrated into the architecture, landscape and surrounding environment and make a substantial impact on unique, high profile sites in communities. Two projects received Planning Commission Awards of Excellence for projects that “enhance the quality of life, exhibit long-term vision, innovation, design quality and environmental sensitivity.” Additionally, she was one of the 5,000 design teams in the world to contribute a proposal for the World Trade Center Memorial. Elizabeth Indianos’ proposal is visible at the World Trade Center Memorial website. Elizabeth's website, E. Indianos Artworks, is elizabethindianos.com. Her most recent work, Waiting for Guacamole, is a multimedia play/musical interwoven with theater, artwork, music and dance. waitingforguacamole.com |

| TEACHING PHILOSOPHY As an instructor I strive to set the example of being an artist through my extensive professional work and involvement with projects in the field and outside of the classroom. Aspiring students often see me as a reflection of what can be possible in the life of an artist. I have a commitment to finding a way to reach and develop each student’s potential. I believe that there is a unique way, particularly with the Leepa Rattner Museum as an educational resource within the college and community, to give students the education they need. I embrace the philosophy that when the student is ready the teacher as well as the teaching environment will appear. We in the Art Department within the Leepa Rattner Museum are here and ready for students at the Tarpon Springs Campus. |
