Eliza Reinhardt was born and raised in Iowa City, Iowa. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Drawing in 2018 from The University of Iowa. She is currently living and working in Denton, Texas.

Her paintings explore themes of self discovery, reclamation and memory. The sedimentary addition and subtraction of paint functions both as a literal and metaphorical archaeology of memory. Faces are fragmented, broken, and hidden; ambiguous, but sincere. A violent collision between her own physicality, paint, and image, the resulting canvases house a rich eruption of painting - a record of re-genesis of oneself.
