Liz is a Maine-based artist working primarily in painting. From a family of artists, creativity was second nature growing up. She studied painting and screenwriting at the School of Visual Arts, NYC. Working intuitively with bright colors and a focus on expressive, intentional brushwork, Liz continues to paint and explore the subjects that matter most to her.
I encourage students to experiment and focus on observation rather than perfection. ~ Liz
