Eaton and Helen Justice Mitchell, Elizabeth was raised in an artistic milieu, an apt pupil of her father's, learning as she went, her only formal training being in drawing. Living in Paris when Elizabeth was born, the Eaton family settled in Santa Barbara, California, in 1886 after Elizabeth's health began to decline due to the climate. It was here that her father began to establish himself as an art and crafts designer, working in metal, leather, and glass-all of which he introduced to his daughter. From a relatively young age Elizabeth began working in these mediums, and began to exhibit along with her father in various arts and crafts shows in southern California. In 1893 she married Wm.
Burton, and gave birth to son Phillip; in 1897, daughter Helen was born; not long after, Elizabeth opened he first studio. She then opened a studio in the Blanchard Bldg in Los Angeles, and in 1920 furthered her studies in Paris. A versatile artist and an exponent of Arts and Crafts, she made color woodcuts, watercolors, bookbindings, tooled leather décor and equestrian detailing, lamps and stained glass.Burton died in Los Angeles on Nov.
