Painting is a passion for Liz and you'll find her work in oils, acrylic and pastels. However, oils continue to be her medium of choice. "I love the richness and texture that flows when the oil paint touches the canvas."

Liz paints figurative, portrait and Landscapes, with the style of a surrealist. Her colors are vivid and bright and they create the emotion of the moment. Liz's favorite subjects are of everyday events of friends and family and she will often work them into her landscapes. Liz also enjoys sculpture some of her favorite works are in bronze and wood.
