drawing and being creative. While living in Houston, Texas as an adult
where she could develop her drawing skills from many noted artist, such
as Bernice Brown, Mary Price, Lajos Markos, Frederick Taubes, John
Balm. Leaving Houston to live in Stavanger, Norway opened even more
opportunity to expand her desire to create art in new media and new
places.

with Tom Browning, David Leffel at the Loveland Academy and
workshops with Ben Konis. Gay Faulkenberry, J. Chris Morel, and Tim
Diebler aroused her interest in En Plein Air Classes with them. Liz has
especially enjoyed classes with C. W. Mundy at the Fredericksburg Art
School and in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
The many years of travel and meeting new people and experiencing
new places has given her unique painting of the places and the faces
she loves to create new paintings from. Her theme has become,
“Painting Faces and Places in the World“. Last year, 2008 she
traveled to the Artic Circle to see the declining Polar Bear population
and the effects of warming climates. She took a cruise to Nova Scotia
to see where her French ancestors came from and hear the history of
the Titanic sinking off the coast of Nova Scotia. In 2009 she went to
see the glaciers of Alaska along with the amazing wildlife that live
there. For Liz the people and places are what life if about in her life.
For the last year she has been teaching an adult class for oil painting in
the Robson Ranch Community. She finds great satisfaction in sharing
what she has learned over the past 40 years.
