Elizabeth Seward is a multidisciplinary artist based in Portland, Oregon who tells stories through her creations. Raised by the trees of Appalachia and the streets of New York City, and shaped by her experiences traveling the country as a musician and the world as a writer, her diverse background is the wellspring for her art. Seward found her home in the Pacific Northwest, a landscape that deeply inspires her work.

Seward’s art, which is housed within her Small Dose Magic brand, spans a variety of mediums. Her paintings often blend oil, acrylic, and watercolor to create ethereal and imaginative pieces. Her taste helps to shape her handmade jewelry and her work in writing, photography, music, and beyond. A common thread woven throughout all her disciplines is an exploration of resilience, courage, grief, justice, and love — themes she uses to cultivate empathy and understanding.

Through her art, Seward invites others to feel seen and to make space for their own raw emotions. From individual works that have taken her many years to complete to everyday artistic joys like stickers and bags, every creation is a small dose of magic meant to forge honest, loving connections and inspire change. In her work across disciplines, she seeks to cultivate empathy and understanding. Aside from creating and running Small Dose Magic, Seward devotes her life to her incredible daughter, who has inspired her every step along this path.
