Elizabeth Vary is born in Cologne, 1940. She lives and works in Cologne and in the French town of Corberon. Already in 1994 she participated in the group show "The last dream of Herr Schleiermacher" at Galerie Nordenhake. 1998-99 a large solo exhibition was showed at Galerie am Fishmarkt, Erfurt; Kunstverein Friedrichshafen, and at Von-der-Heydt Museum in Wuppertal.
