"Untitled" 16" x 20" 1999
By Elizabeth S.
Elizabeth
S. was diagnosed with a brain tumor in April,
1998. She had three operations which left her with
significant speech and movement deficits.
Previously she had been a Social Worker and
Psychotherapist.
The paralysis on her right side dictated learning to
becoming "left handed." Her first
painting were chaotic markings on paper, more notable
for their energy than their structure. As time
went by, however, abstract structures emerged followed
by floral references.
Her paintings continued to evolve with a depth of
feeling and spatial complexity. She demonstrates
an astute critical acumen which is frequently observable
as she backs the wheelchair, with her head cocked, away
from her painting. determined, she wheels back to
create a legacy of purposefulness and beauty.
Sadly Elizabeth passed away, however, she leaves a
visual legacy of beauty and hope.
