LIZ PARK
Originally from Pennsylvania, Liz graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2006 with a B.F.A in Painting. She then moved out to the Tetons (Jackson Hole, WY) where she lived for 10 years, working as a wrangler on a guest ranch, in the office at a ski resort, and even making granola bars on her way to becoming a full time artist. Liz moved to northern Washington state in early 2017, which is where she currently works and resides.
Her medium for many years has been acrylic paint on varnished wood panels - she uses a simplified color palette, and plays with negative space - letting the wood grain show through to create interesting compositions, usually of wildlife and mountain scenes. On her work - anything that looks like wood grain, is the actual wood grain showing through.
In 2021, she began experimenting with using watered down acrylic washes on canvas to mimic watercolor, still striving to create an interesting background to create compositions of realistic wildlife and mountains on.
For her stickers and lighthearted images - she draws with colored pencil or whatever is necessary to bring to life the parade of fun, strange things that ramble through her brain.
Liz no longer does commission work - but if you reach out, she might know someone that might suit your needs!
