Artist Notes - General 

Elizabeth is a Dunedin based artist, self-taught and passionate about adding joy to everyday, expressed through art. Layers of paint and medium are built up over the canvas to create volume and form. This approach gives rise to a sense of movement and life in the work that includes raised surfaces,  dips, slopes, bumps, cracks and lumps. Please zoom in on the images provided to appreciate these aspects of the work. 

While the artist attributes meaning to all her artworks, she is keen for the viewer to find their own happiness and meaning in the pattern, colour and texture.

Appreciating textured art is about valuing the beauty in imperfection, ​perfectly imperfect, organic and irregular. Textured art moves away ​from traditional art to a tactile experience. Inherent to the design are ​marks, bumps, lumps, cracks, scrapes, cracks and scourges. It is a thing of beauty, like ​nature herself. 

For those new to textured art, the raised surfaces create interaction with ​light and shadow, with smooth and rough, while embraced within the ​fluidity of painted effect, and the added element of dimension.

There are several different textures at play in Elizabeth's work. Using different pastes mixed in different ratios, depending on the design. Sometimes the acrylic paint is mixed into the paste, ​other times it is added after. Sometimes there are embellishments and ​othe​r materials used in the construction of a piece.
