About Liz

A full-time artist, Liz was born in Honduras, Central America, the fourth child of missionaries who served there. Her family returned to Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the early 1970s where Liz grew up. Even as a young girl, her artistic talent was evident, earning her numerous awards throughout her childhood and teenage years.
Once a year Liz travels abroad to spend several weeks painting on location. Trying to capture on canvas such beautiful subjects as the old world charm of Tuscany, the canals of Venice, the lavender fields of Provence, or the brooding sea and landscapes of Ireland, has proven to be invaluable in stretching Liz's artistic imagination.
Many artists pursue adult education classes or other such helps as a means to keep the inspiration fresh throughout their careers. But Liz finds that annual trips abroad have served as the catalyst needed to stretch her artistic horizons, pushing her forward into the exploration of new techniques and color palettes appropriate for the subject matter of those settings.
One of her most popular collections is the Red Umbrella series which was first created during one of those trips. Following the solitary figure with the red umbrella, Liz takes the viewer on a journey to many of the beautiful locales she has visited. The collection continues to grow as she continues to travel.
But art was not always what called her. From the ages of 23-31 Liz made her home 10 miles above the Arctic Circle in a village in northern Sweden’s Lapland where she served on a mission team, working with a local, Swedish congregation there. She speaks, reads, and writes Swedish fluently, and travels there periodically for visits since her return to the States.
The artist she idolizes most is the Master Painter, Himself, who has filled this earth with color, form, and pattern too beautiful for any human being to recreate. It is this Artist, God the Creator, who has made all the difference in her life.
Liz sells her works through her gallery in the heart of downtown Lancaster’s art district on “Gallery Row”.
