A way to cope with loss, find some kind of peace and escape from reality.
However, through that journey of healing, she has transformed her sorrow into a creative source of inspiration, and today her artworks are gaining recognition all over Victoria.
“I create to find joy for myself and to bring joy to others,” Elizabeth said.
“I love to play, experiment and explore different mediums and techniques when I create, so my style is constantly evolving.
“I love the colour pink, it makes my heart happy, so I tend to add it to most of my work.”
Pink is definitely a signature colour in her pieces, and upon viewing her work, you’d have no way of knowing there was any pain behind her blended use of acrylic paints, pencils, crayons, pastels, and Posca paint pens.
Each piece is vibrant, offers a visual narrative and makes you smile.
Elizabeth has always had a knack for creativity, though it wasn't fostered as a professional pursuit during her upbringing.
Today, however, her work has transcended hobby status as she is confidently forging ahead into making it a professional career.
"I'm participating in art prizes, group exhibitions, and the upcoming Campaspe Artist Studio Trail in 2025,” she said.
“I'm also selling my work and setting up a website. This is my passion; this is what I want to do."
Elizabeth's journey from grief to aspiring professional artist is truly inspiring, reflecting her resilience and artistic evolution.
