The best adventures start with imagination.

Elizabeth Moisan, a native New Yorker, has worked professionally as an artist since graduating from Parsons School of Design in 1970. In addition to a forty-four year career as a designer in the home-furnishings industry, she has done illustration, set design, and taken on watercolor and portrait commissions.

Since retiring, she has worked as a book designer and illustrator, and now in her second retirement, she plans to work on her own projects, which include writing and illustrating her own children’s books and a few more novels.

Elizabeth is an Arts and Letters member of the Cape Cod Branch of the National League of American Pen Women; the founding host of A Book in the Hand, a literary program that ended in 2019 after ten years; former facilitator of Rising Tide Writers; founder and member of Just Plain Folk, a folk music group that performed locally for eleven years and is now in retirement; and plays with the Irish Session on Wednesday evenings at O’Shea’s Old Inne in West Dennis, MA.

A thirteenth-generation Mayflower descendant, she lives on Cape Cod—a place with very deep family roots—a short distance from the setting of her book, Master of the Sweet Trade.
