Elizabeth Layton, a native of Wellsville, Kansas, is best known for the role that her works of art played in her remarkable recovery from depression. Her first drawings, which she began to create in 1977 at the age of 68, were difficult and uncompromising self-portraits. As she began to emerge from her depression, her art began to incorporate her social and political concerns as well as humor and whimsy.
