Elizabeth Turk is an American sculptor who works primarily with marble, transforming this material into refined pieces infused with classical beauty.〔Liz Goldner () STONER: ELIZABETH TURK “Artist Brings New Life to Old Materials,” ''Artillery'', November 2014.〕 〔Laura Bleiberg () “From Marble to Ribbons, Cages, and Collars,” ''Orange Coast'', September 2014.〕 〔Evan Senn () “The Marvelous Marble of Elizabeth Turk,” KCET.org, 16 October 2014.〕 〔TedX Atlanta () Elizabeth Turk: Creativity, 2011.〕 〔Rachel Wolff () “Finding Strips of Ribbon in Chunks of Stone,” The Wall Street Journal, 22 June 2012.〕 〔 Mila Pantovich () “Artist Elizabeth Turk Crafts Intricate Marble Sculptures,” ''JustLuxe'', 18 July 2012.〕 She was born in Pasadena, California in 1961, and grew up in the western United States; California, New Mexico and Colorado. Finding herself in a new locale every few years, she spent many hours looking at the natural and cultural surroundings. Some of her early visual influences included the Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino, CA and the Native American culture in New Mexico. She graduated from Corona del Mar High School in 1979. Turk attended Scripps College, Claremont, CA, where she studied international relations., graduating in 1983. A college study program in Europe helped give her a larger view of life, what she calls, “an understanding of the worldwide importance of art, and the evolution of human values through art.” While in Paris, she took an elective art history course at the Louvre and traveled to other European capitals to look at art. After completing her undergraduate studies, Turk moved to Washington D.C. to pursue a career in international relations. The Capitol, with its museums and especially the Corcoran Gallery of Art courses, became the influence that drove her to pursue sculpture as a career. In the early 1990s, she enrolled full-time in the Rinehart School of Sculpture, Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, graduating in 1994. Shortly after receiving her MFA, Turk began exhibiting her bronze sculptures in the D.C. area. An upcoming Baumgartner Gallery in that city paired her work with sculptor Louise Bourgeois whose dramatic bronze "Spider (Bourgeois)" compelled Turk to expand into a new medium. Choosing marble, she found cast-off stone from the 19th century construction of the Lincoln Memorial. Her segue to marble started her journey exploring the material’s many possibilities. She began shaping stone into objects which defy their materiality, speaking to larger spiritual issues. Turk moved to New York City in the mid-1990s, and soon began showing her work there. Her first exhibition was at Hirschl & Adler Galleries 〔Hirschl & Adler Galleries, about () retrieved March 10, 2015.〕 in 2000—in the show, “New York Classicism, Now”—where she continues to exhibit. After 9/11, Turk was drawn back to her roots. She soon took up her own residence in Newport, while maintaining her New York apartment. Her lifestyle, combining the best of the West and East Coasts, is her source of intellectual, philosophical and visual inspiration. Elizabeth Turk has won several awards and grants, including: a MacArthur genius grant, 〔Tom Legro () “Conversation: Sculptor Elizabeth Turk” Jeffrey Brow Transcript, PBS NewsHour, 29 October 2010.〕 and the Barnett and Annalee Newman Foundation Fellowship, both in 2010; a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (SARF) in 2011; and a Helena Modjeska Cultural Legacy Award for artistic achievements from Arts Orange County in 2012. 〔Arts Orange County past award winners () retrieved March 10, 2015.〕 She also won a Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant in 2000. And she presented the 2011 Scripps College Commencement Address. 〔Scripps College 2011 Commencement Address () Elizabeth Robbins Turk ’83, “What is True in Permanent Change?” 15 May 2011.〕 Turk has had several solo gallery and museum exhibitions, including, "Elizabeth Turk: Sentient Forms" (2014) at Laguna Art Museum. 〔Laguna Art Museum announcement () Elizabeth Turk: Sentient Forms, October 2014.〕 Her work is in the collections of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C.; the Weatherspoon Gallery, University of North Carolina, Greensboro; The Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC; and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
