Past Millspace Annual Arts Scholarship Recipients

2026 Eliza Barsorian

Eliza is an artist from Nashua, New Hampshire, who has been creating since childhood. Working across watercolor, digital art, sewing, and sculpture, Eliza’s creative practice is driven by curiosity, storytelling, and a desire to express emotion through her work.

With a painterly style and a focus on feeling in each brushstroke, Eliza uses art as a way to explore experiences, share ideas, and connect with others. Her artistic journey has included watercolor painting, illustrating a children’s book with her middle school music teacher, creating handmade plushies, and developing original stories through writing and visual art.

Eliza will continue her studies at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Massachusetts, as she continues to grow her skills and develop her unique artistic voice.
