Elizabeth Gorcey has devoted her life to the
pursuit of art that intrigues her, stories that compel her, and the elevation
of authentic voices that must be heard. Her dedication has allowed Elizabeth to
discover and pursue her own creativity and talents while inspiring others to do
the same.
Elizabeth has extensive experience working in
the cinematic field as an actress, director, and producer. She used this
knowledge in her fight to create documentary style films that shed light on the
stories of the unnoticed, the unheard.
By boldly exploring socially taboo topics like aging and disability, she
translated the lives of others into compelling films. Elizabeth’s creative endeavors won awards and
advocated for individuals and communities the world had pushed aside.
Personally, and professionally, Elizabeth avidly
encourages speaking honestly and authentically in every setting. This trait led
to another artistic endeavor when she shared her love of creating with her
daughter. As a collaborative venture,
Elizabeth and her daughter wrote the award-winning children’s book series, Liv
on Life. Aimed to cultivate a
child’s sense of confidence and kindness, this mother daughter duo was able to
write from the perspective of parents and children, encouraging families to
embrace authenticity in every relationship.
Compelled by her love of visual arts, Elizabeth
became a painter when she was a little girl.
Winning an award at the age of 10 for her watercolor “Chinese Tea Pot”,
which was displayed in the New Jersey State Museum. Recent exhibitions include New York,
Portland, Los Angeles, Canada, and Europe have revealed her talents to a new
audience of private collectors and institutions. Recently Ms. Gorcey showed her
work along side Jackson Pollock in a group show at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art
Museum.
The passion of this committed actress, director,
producer, painter, and author urges each of us to express ourselves as
authentically as she does. Put simply by Elizabeth herself, “Creating is
nourishment for my soul.”
