The Artist Says:

Oils free me to explore adventurously and confidently, giving me the opportunity to change things on an ongoing basis as the painting unfolds and finds its own voice. As well, the richness of colour and texture in oil paint combined with the power and impact of painting large canvases is very much aligned with my impressions of the natural world. These factors keep the process continually stimulating and exciting, and constantly trying new things keeps my work fresh and makes every painting an adventure.

Biography

Elizabeth's hiking, climbing and skiing expeditions have taken her into remote areas of the Canadian Rockies. In addition she has explored many of the coastlines of North America, Hawaii and Mexico, as well as the deserts and canyons of the American Southwest. Most recently she spent a month gathering inspiration in Bolivia and the Peruvian Andes.

Over time, her experiences have made her intimately aware of the magic and beauty that is found in these powerful places. For 15 years, Elizabeth focused on exploring watercolour as a means of expressing her deep affinity for the natural environment. In 2003 she became intrigued with oil painting in her pursuit of new and continually challenging ways to share her perceptions, and in this medium she has found a channel that more clearly enables her to express her personal artistic vision.

While being primarily self taught, she attributes much of her success to the valuable influence of the prominent artists with whom she has studied, combining their guidance with her dedication to developing a style of her own. Elizabeth is a member of the Oil Painters of America, and a signature member of the Society of Canadian Artists, the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, and the Federation of Canadian Artists. She is represented in galleries throughout Western Canada.
