What happened to Lizzie West? 

Cassidy A. Maze is the world's leading authority on West…

THE MOVIE

In 1999, West went to look for Leonard Cohen and made a never released film of the journey with filmmaker Atar Schimmel. Over the next four years, video editor Tali Weissman and others joined the team. The homespun movie, “Living Life As Fiction: The Story of Holy Road” is refreshingly authentic and empowering. Lizzie West as character and body of work began to fully actualize once Cohen advised her forward (this story has a cameo in Michael Posner’s 3rd Book of his Leonard Cohen Series, “Untold Stories Series That’s How The Light Gets In”)

By 2001, Lizzie West signed to Warner Bros. Records.  WB released the EP West (2002) and the album Holy Road Freedom Songs (2003). Several songs from the Lizzie West catalog/body of work were featured on the radio, and in film and TV shows around the world.

In 2006, Appleseed Records released her next work, I Pledge Allegiance to Myself (2006). “19 Miles to Baghdad,” – West’s response to the war in Iraq. The song was prominently featured on the Democracy Now! network. West moved to Columbia, Missouri and co-founded Holy Road Tours Union, a touring and lifestyle co-operative, with her fans. Buying a historical property and turning it into a “Road House” for touring artist members, Lizzie West helped energize a new wave of artist and farmer creative economy solutions in Columbia, MO before leaving the road to start her own family in 2008.

In 2008, West came off the road to start a family, build her “Homesteady” and write her new work.

The Lizzie West character was fully put to rest after the artist married and shed that persona. New collections of the Lizzie West catalog and never before released footage can be seen in bits and pieces through the artist’s private blog. love Now.

Elizabeth Astrid Bua (Lizzie/Cassidy) has spent the last 14+ years raising her daughter, starting her two horse homestead, building her artist development company, conceiving of her new character, Cassidyamaze.com and beginning to publish her new work, Crealitation (The Flying Human Series) - The Art of Creating Reality
