Elizabeth has been an artist since childhood, always having paper and pencil on hand for sketching. Working in graphite and colored pencil, she first enjoyed drawing plants and animals, then became interested in landscapes and architecture. With a creative family active in the arts, her artistic endeavors were always encouraged. A love of nature and art began early.
Working primarily in watercolor, her paintings are inspired by our wonderful Northern and Central California landscapes and close up nature studies. A peaceful, inviting atmosphere is created, with a deep appreciation of the beautiful and interesting things around us.Her paintings reflect a love of subtle color layering, texture, and detail work. Some of her most recent work includes coastal scenes, birds, and botanical compositions. Monterey is one of her favorite areas for inspiration.
Elizabeth’s artwork is exhibited in various Bay Area galleries. Her artwork has been shown at the aRt Cottage, Pleasant Hill Senior Center, Blackhawk Plaza, Museum of Monterey, Marjorie Evans Gallery in Carmel, Napa Valley Wine Train, Moraga Art Gallery, and Village Theatre & Art Gallery in Danville. Her painting of Flaco the Eurasian Eagle Owl has been published in a new book, FLACO: The Owl Who Escaped Captivity and Won the Hearts of the World, edited by Jonathan Hollingsworth.
