Life Balance

This 20” x 20” acrylic and collage painting layers hand painted papers on canvas to create a balance between pattern, color, and texture.
Liz is an artist working in acrylic, mixed media, ink, and hand-made paper. Her work ranges from semi-abstract natural landscapes to more textural intuitive paintings and collage, which invite the viewer to interpret the work. Her marks and forms create a type of visual language uniquely interpreted by each individual viewer. Many of her paintings are layer upon layer of color, texture, markings, glazes or paper that create depth and a sense of history…that something else came before the layer seen on the surface. Each layer guides the next.
Liz lives and works in Rogers where she enjoys the colors, patterns, and textures of the world around her and is inspired by the beauty of God’s creation. She studied graphic design at the University of Arkansas and earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree from Arkansas Tech University. Liz has enjoyed the creative arts since childhood and still delights in trying new art materials and experimenting with different processes, resulting in a wide variety of styles within her body of work.
Her lengthy career in the field of interior design has furthered her appreciation for the impact that textiles, color and the built environment have on everyday life and how strongly we are affected by this interaction.
