Abstract
Her abstract pieces are rich in colour and movement. They have emotion and are immediate. Elizabeth often starts from an image or idea that captures her, but ultimately, it is her emotional response that you see. Like many abstract artists, she enjoys working in larger scale allowing the gestures to be felt through confident brushstrokes, meditated and spontaneous. |
Markets
One of Elizabeth’s favourite pastimes is exploring markets. Her paintings celebrate colour, energy and movement. The brushstrokes combine sketching and blending of colour allowing the viewer to explore beautiful things, fragrant smells, muffled sounds, with forces pushing and pulling you. Imagine yourself picking your way through these vendors |
Moments
Elizabeth’s Moments series will hopefully capture the viewer for a moment: to draw a smile, spur laughter, or take you on a journey. She often incorporates the figure into her paintings and together with her choice of colour and gesture, she allows the energy and movement to continue. Together they form the beginning of a story, creating a voice, a moment in time. |
Italia
Elizabeth's Italia series celebrates Rome, Venice and Florence. They are figurative paintings full of confident gestures creating harmony with the cities. People walking, kids playing, friends dining, all going about their daily routines surrounded by the city walls. Together they form a rhythm, but never losing sight of its individual notes - if you listen and look hard enough you see them. |
