It’s color that touches my soul,
therefore I paint as a colorist.
As an artist I use oil as my medium.

Experience & Education
Elizabeth started out as a classical oil painter and then evolved from there. She first studied with Bucks County’s classical painter, Dot Bunn getting a solid foundation, learning color palette to mechanics of design in oil painting techniques. Then she studied plein air practicing principles of Illusionistic painting utilizing the wipe-out method and Linear Perspective with Patrick Connors, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. She went on to study with Emily Thompson, experimenting with abstract painting. Finally, she studied with Ty Hodanish, an Impressionist artist, student of Cape Cod School of Art using Henry Hensche’s technique. It is through experimentation of painting in different styles that Elizabeth has developed her own style which allows her spirit to flow through. It is less about the subject than the emotions the subject evokes. Her paintings allow the viewer to experience this emotion changing their vibration. She professes that her artistic talent comes from her Mother’s family in which there are a number of established painters of French heritage.
Currently she lives in Queenstown, MD on the Eastern Shore. She is a member of Kent Island Federation of Art, KIFA, Stevensville, MD.
