Liz Collins is a multidisciplinary artist working across installation, painting, sculpture, drawing, performance, and design. Her practice challenges hierarchical distinctions between art and craft, embracing textiles as a site for abstraction, political resonance, pleasure, and collective experience. Collins has presented solo exhibitions and large-scale installations at institutions including the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College, the Museum of Arts and Design (New York), Touchstones Rochdale (UK), the Knoxville Museum of Art, and Rossana Orlandi (Milan). In 2025–26, the RISD Museum presented Liz Collins: Motherlode, a major mid-career survey spanning more than three decades of work with an accompanying monograph published by Hirmer.

Her work has been included in significant group exhibitions at the 60th Venice Biennale (2024, curated by Adriano Pedrosa), Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction (LACMA, National Gallery of Art, National Gallery of Canada, MoMA), the New Museum, ICA Boston, the Drawing Center, and Museu de Arte de São Paulo, among others. Collins has received an Anonymous Was a Woman Award, a United States Artists Fellowship, the MacColl Johnson Fellowship, and grants from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts and Artist Relief. She has held residencies at MacDowell, Yaddo, Civitella Ranieri, and Haystack, and was an Open Sessions artist at the Drawing Center and a Two Trees Cultural Subsidy Studio recipient.

Her work is held in public collections including the RISD Museum, the Museum of Arts and Design, the Museum at FIT, the Mint Museum, the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, MASP, and the MFA Boston.

Liz Collins is a multi-year Queer|Art|Mentorship Mentor, and a new member of the Queer|Art Board.
