Collection: Liz Canali
Liz Canali has been involved with art and crafts since early in her life. Trained as a commercial graphic artist, she first worked as a paste-up artist at the telephone company but quickly moved into the education field. Liz worked as an elementary art teacher in Hopkinton, MA and then as the jewelry and weaving teacher at Northfield Mt. Hermon School in Northfield, MA. At the same time she owned and created one-of-a-kind and art-to-wear jewelry for her company, Canali Silver. She sold her work to individuals and galleries throughout the US.
Times changed and so did Liz. Her art journey brought her into the world of art administration. She was director of Leverett Crafts and Arts in Leverett, MA and then returned to her roots as a graphic artist. Combining her design experience and her husband Al’s office and sales experience, the two opened Canali Designs more than 25 years ago. Liz is the graphic designer for the business, focusing on print and web coordinated projects, logo design for small to medium businesses.
In search of a non-computer creative outlet, Liz rediscovered fiber arts especially felt. Liz began researching traditional felting techniques. Her latest wall pieces are made with the Florida climate in mind. Felt is a sustainable, renewable and biodegradable textile. An excellent insulator of heat and sound, it is also anti-static, non-allergenic, self-extinguishing, a controller of humidity and absorber of pollutants. It has intrinsic properties which help to maintain a healthy interior that is pleasant to live in. Her recent wall hangings and felted light shades reflect this direction in her latest work.
