About
Liz Riviere
“The ability to tell a good story is an art. The art of telling a story is very visual. I find the intersection of the visual and the literal worlds to be a fascinating place – both worlds depend on each other. In order to write, one must be creative with words.
It takes imagination, a vibrant memory of the senses and commitment but it also takes color, tone, palette and style to create a perception. Since 1993, every aspect of my career has focused on the partnership that exists between literature and art and I’ve been grateful to partake in the process.”
A graduate of Smith College, Liz Riviere has worked in art galleries, documentary film, major photography agencies and publishing houses from Paris to New York. Currently, in her sixth year as editor at Hard Press Editions (Lenox, MA), she continues to be involved in the ‘whole package’ of book making and has just wrapped up the launch of a seventh title, Seeing Out Louder: Art Criticism 2003-2009 by New York magazine senior art critic Jerry Saltz.
