Elizabeth Rossi-Riel is an artist, author, illustrator, and teacher by day, who believes that every story—whether told through a single painting or a completed manuscript—deserves to be treated with intention and care.

Based in Cincinnati, Elizabeth blends nearly two decades of experience in the classroom with a lifelong commitment to the visual arts. Her work as an illustrator, author, art educator, and artist is defined by an empathetic approach, focusing on capturing the nuance of human emotion and connection. As an author, she specializes in crafting poetic narratives, including her debut children’s book, The New Day, which offers a gentle guide through the complexities of loss and healing. Her illustrative work can also be found in the children's book The Sounds of Love, where her illustrations explore the beauty of non-verbal communication and human connection.

Beyond her artistic practice, Elizabeth serves as a creative partner for fellow authors. By integrating her technical expertise in digital design and book formatting, she provides a seamless bridge for creators moving from a raw manuscript to a professional, print-ready publication.

For Elizabeth, the creative process is an act of advocacy for the quiet, meaningful moments in life. Whether she is painting a custom home portrait, illustrating a new manuscript, or formatting the interior of a book, her focus is always the same: helping people find the most meaningful way to tell their stories through art.
