Welcome to my studio. All of the mandalas you see here are drawn by hand, layered with intention, and rooted in history.

K. Elizabeth is an economist, educator, and visual artist based in Chicago whose creative work emerges from the confluence of structure and soul.

Her artistic journey was nurtured from a young age under the guidance of her father, artist and architect Ray Broady, who instilled in her the foundational principles of composition, balance, and design. His mentorship not only honed her technical skills but also fostered a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and visual storytelling.

During her time at Luther South High School, K. Elizabeth was introduced to the intricate world of mandalas by art teacher David Sohn. This exposure resonated deeply, aligning with her affinity for detailed patterns and symbolic representation, and ultimately became a central theme in her artistic expression.

She furthered her education at Alcorn State University in Lorman, Mississippi, earning a B.A. in Criminal Justice. She later earned an M.B.A. and Ph.D. in Business Administration with a major in Economics at Jackson State University.

Through a blend of early mentorship, academic study, and personal exploration, K. Elizabeth cultivated a body of work that is both intricate and soulful—a reflection of beauty, structure, and profound meaning.
