Elizabeth Sanjuan is a visual artist. She was born in Hollywood, Florida, to Cuban immigrant parents. After a 21-year career with American Airlines, she retired in 2015 to focus on photography full time. She photographs people, landscapes and built places in many parts of the world.
Her long-term projects include Self Revealed, about women defining beauty on their own terms, Recuerdos de mi Abuela, about her grandmother, and Small Towns of Colorado, about small-town America.
She has travelled to Hokkaido, Japan, several times in winter. Silent Snow: Hokkaido (Daylight Books, 2025) grew out of seven years of this work. The hardcover has 112 pages and 40 photographs. In 2022 she showed Hokkaido Silent Snow in a solo exhibition at Yume Garden and Museum in Tucson, Arizona. In 2026 The Guardian published a gallery of the series.
