'NEW GREEN' - Acrylic, Polymer, Charcoal on Wood Panel

Artist Biography

Elizabeth is a visual and movement-based artist whose practice is deeply rooted in her exploration of somatics. Originally from The Bronx, NY, she spent most of her life living and painting in NYC before relocating to Beacon, NY. Her work has been exhibited both locally in NYC, the Hudson Valley, and internationally. In 2021, she expanded her movement drawing process beyond her studio, bringing it into abandoned and temporary spaces. Elizabeth’s painting process is an embodied one, integrating her felt sense, emotions, and life experiences, as tools to paint through. That felt sense would come through to gesture, and be made visible through the paint, the chalk or charcoal. She has performed her movement drawing in arts festivals and led workshops in cultural spaces. For the past 20 years, Elizabeth has also been an Alexander Technique teacher and a practitioner of Craniosacral Therapy and Reiki. Her art and body awareness practices run in parallel, inspiring and informing one another.
