Elizabeth was born in a nomadic camp in the Garry lake area, and was evacuated to the Baker Lake settlement during a time of famine and starvation in the region when in her forties. She originally learned to sew by watching her grandmother, and began to make wall hangings in Baker Lake in the late 1960s and she was one of the original group of Baker Lake women invited to work in embroidery and felt appliqué on duffel to create wall hangings.
She is known for her exuberant embroidery stitches which cover the surface of her material in rich, fluid and energetic patterns. The artist prefers to use colourful variegated embroidery threads to liberally cover her free-hand cut human and animal figures and background, alike.
