| -----When I have finished a piece, there are two ways for me to know that this particular portrait has been a success. The first, is that I must be completely enamored with my subject. I am never finished with a portrait until that happens. if one has spent enough time focusing on someone’s movements, features, eccentricities, subtleties, etc, it is impossible not to be taken with them, in love, by the end. If I am not, I have not seen enough, and must forage ahead! Number two, all comes from the viewer, and lends to an even greater satisfaction. A viewer looks at a portrait of a woman: for a moment she looks as though she’s trying not to smile and going to burst out laughing. Sometimes she looks somber, and other times thoughtful. Pensive, caring; human emotion. Different from each perspective, and ever changing, just as we are. if my work is lacking in this effect, I have not successfully translated my subject into the surface.
-----Elizabeth was born in Washington D.C. in 1982, and grew up in Northeast Harbor, Maine. A small village on the beautiful Mount Desert Island. She attended St. Lawrence University in upstate New York for one year, followed by 5 years of rigorous classical arts study in Florence, Italy. Currently she resides in New York City, and is persuing a career in portraiture.
