Elizabeth Nutting graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts Honours Degree in Drama from Queen's University. After working for two years at The Banff Centre, she furthered her education at the Toronto School of Art; pursuing her dream to work as a set designer. Elizabeth is now combining her art and theatre background through her installation pieces. These pieces use theatre scripts as a springboard for her art. Elizabeth's work requires the viewers to immerse themselves within the installation, or else, much like a set on an empty stage - it will not survive without human interaction.
