Danby Gathery Art Works

Elizabeth’s paintings are expressions of joyful abundance and simplicity that fill daily life. Painting in her 1830’s farmhouse at the kitchen table is a meditative process of mixing, matching and layering colorful strokes to model each form. Her more recent work focuses on closeup points of view with intense lighting. Standing and looking downward, capturing perhaps only a portion of the subject at a specific moment in time while the playfulness of bold colors and subject matter pull the viewer into her work.
