Artist Statement:
Inspired by light, color, and nature. Elizabeth realized at a young age that art and creating was her passion, her calling.
Graduating with a degree in Graphic Design, she commenced working at an advertising agency in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Elizabeth enjoyed city life, but an opportunity arose to travel across Canada and throughout the United States with fellow artists. This adventure provided her with invaluable artistic insights and enriching life experiences. Upon return to Canada, she settled in a smaller town in Northern Ontario. Here Elizabeth started a successful illustration studio called Illustratus, displaying her artistic diversity by creating illustrations and design for businesses such as Pet Smart as well as fine art commissions for collectors such as NHL hockey players.
Several years later, on a meditation retreat in New York, a momentous event occurred that profoundly shifted her artistic focus from fine detail work to painting, with a sense of uninhibited freedom.
Elizabeth now paints in thick oils with an impressionistic vigor, aspiring to rouse an awakening or emotion in her viewer; to feel the joy in the vivid colors and subjects.
Elizabeth’s work has been exhibited in Northern Ontario, Vancouver, and Victoria, British Columbia. Her work has also been featured in several magazines, most recently in ‘Women in Art 278’ and Art Quench Magazine, Masters Edition.
Elizabeth’s themes are those that resonate with her inner passions and reflect her deep appreciation for nature. Subjects that make her smile or inspire a sense of awe often bring her into the studio for 8 to 15 hour days. From driving down a country road and seeing a breathtaking field of sunflowers to the way the light sparkles on a koi pond, for Elizabeth, inspiration is everywhere.
