Interview with ELIZABETH MALASKA:
Your childhood ambition:
I wanted to be a photographer for National Geographic. Mostly this was because I loved (and love) animals.
Something you treasure:
The ephemeral—and often beautiful—moments that constitute daily life, along with the awareness to appreciate them.
Your worst habit:
Procrastination.
The aspect of your work that’s most important to you:
The psychological solitude that I find only in the studio.
Your first job:
My first job was babysitting, but if we’re talking tax-paying, legit-type work it was at a health food store. The grocery-bagging skills I learned there serve me to this day.
Someone whose work you highly recommend:
Francesca DiMattio.
