Liz Roth is an artist who depicts social concerns in a humorous way. Her most recent painting installation, America 101, has taken her to all 50 states to create paintings emphasizing environmental losses as a result of consumerism.

In 2003, The Kamiyama Artist in Residence Program selected Roth to create art installations and public art works dealing with environmental issues in Kamiyama, Japan. In Fall 2008, she will return to Kamiyama to participate in a sympopsium honoring the program and its participants.

During the past several years Roth has been an artist in residence at the Wrangell Mountain Center (in Alaska), Jentel Artist Foundation (in Wyoming), the Awagami Paper Factory (in Japan), the Kamiyama (Japan) Artists in Residence program, and the Vermont Studio Center.

Roth has received numerous prestigious painting grants including the Oklahoma Visual Artist’s Coalition Grant Art 365 (2007-8), the Wisconsin Arts Board Individual Artist Fellowship (2001), and the national Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation grant for painting (2003). She has also received a number of grants from Oklahoma State University, where she is an Assistant Professor of Drawing and Painting.

Her works have been acquired by many national and international collections, including the Walker Museum of Art, the Museu del Joguet in Spain, the Museum of Awa Japanese Paper, and the KAIR Contemporary Art Collection.
