ABOUT ME
Hi, my name is Lizzi (Elizabeth) I am an artist and multi-passionate creative.
I have always loved art. I’ve been drawing since I could hold a crayon in my hands. As I’ve grown, I have experimented with a lot of different mediums. In college, I studied Studio Arts- focusing on ceramics. I also studied art history, I took every art history class that my university offered. I was completely focused and immersed in a life full of art. After I graduated, going from totally immersed life of art and education to putting my art on the back burner, I felt lost.
Things started changing when my now husband and I bought our house, I finally had room to experiment and play with my art. I had room for my kiln and to blossom. Our second garage became my studio, along with 2, sometimes 3 other rooms in our house!
In 2017 I started painting with alcohol inks. The way the inks flow and move awakened a fire and desire inside me I never knew I had for abstract art. I have been able to find my own style, love of abstraction and experiment in a medium that is completely new. I have been painting with alcohol inks for years and since then I have added other mediums to my list too. I have found a passion for painting murals, woodworking, and more! I document my art journey and experimentations on my Instagram and TikTok.
Thank you for following along on my journey.
Artist Statement:
With the chaos that surrounds our everyday lives, I hope that my artwork provides an escape, if only for a moment. As a multidisciplinary artist working with alcohol ink, murals, woodworking, and mixed media, my creations are deeply influenced by nature, travel, and emotion. My paintings are full of color, texture, and a calming energy, serving as a release of my personal thoughts, emotions, and inspirations.
Colorful, moody, calm, or vibrant, the colors of each painting interact to create an ethereal scene and evoke a distinct set of emotions for every viewer, making the interaction with my art a personal journey.
My goal is to create moments of peace and happiness through my art. Whether it’s a mural that transforms a space, or a small painting that brings a touch of tranquility to someone's home, I strive to make art that resonates, providing a serene escape from everyday stressors.
