Elizabeth was raised in the North Carolina Appalachian foothills, surrounded by the extremes of natural beauty. Her mixed media paintings strip away the hustle and noise of the modern world to expose the raw splendor that is essential to our existence. Using a mixture of gestural, abstract mark making, naturalistic painting and drawing, and fresh techniques in mixed media, she works with the most natural and universal forms – landscape, water, sky, the human figure, plant life. Her work forces the viewer to pause in the daily struggle to do and be, and confront what is true, essential, and holy. Elizabeth lives in Lewisville, North Carolina with her husband, daughter, and their two rescue dogs and cat. She received her BFA from Appalachian State University in 2015, also studying at the Academia Lorenzo de’ Medici in Florence, Italy, and the Camac Centre d’Art in Marnay-sur-Seine, France. Her work has been exhibited from Florida to New York, and Arizona to Paris.
