Chou Chou, the daughter of Paul Manship, was brought up in an artist’s family that valued hard work and craftsmanship, as well as good food and wine. She studied at the Art Students League in New York and much later at Sacramento State College. Her paintings show the tension of movement in bodies — expressing their three-dimensionality is important to her.

In August 2018, Elizabeth traveled from her home in California to present a gift of her painting “Nature Walk” to the Manship Artists. Her sons Peter and Tom, with her granddaughter Isabel, and her daughter-in-law Cheri accompanied her to the unveiling and celebration of the launch of the Manship Artists. Elizabeth literally passed the torch to the next generation of “Manship Artists” and the first cohort of visiting artists at Starfield.
