Liz Kitchens
Liz Kitchens is a focus group facilitator for legal cases, public policy issues, and political campaigns. She is a writer and clay illustrator. Liz’s blog, Be Brave. Lose the Beige, reaches out to women of the baby boom 
generation, “Lady Boomers” as she calls them, encouraging them to discover their own colorful spirits. Liz is a certified True Colors facilitator and conducts retreats and workshops using the metaphor of color to help promote self acceptance and understanding. Liz is known as a “Claywriter” by friends and colleagues, because she sculpts with words and writes in clay. She refers to herself as a “fun artist” rather than a “fine artist”, saying her version of art emphasizes joy and fun through the use of color and whimsical sculptures.
A Commissioned Minister of the Arts in the United Church of Christ (UCC), Liz founded the Jeremiah Project, an after school and summer arts enrichment program designed to foster self esteem in at risk middle school aged students.
