That was a really great review, Elisabeth! I found it really elucidating. It really captured the elements that makes your paintings so unique.

I love paintings that shouldn’t work. I strive for that in my own work.

Elisabeth’s work always takes me into unknown landscapes on and through the canvas as well as emotional and mental experience. I’ve owned one of her pieces for several years, and it only gets better with time. I’m delighted to have read a review that so nearly captures my experience of this delicious and challenging work. (Imagine: deliciousness and challenge together!)

I love this work. Luscious and painterly, compelling and mysterious, but somehow simultaneously friendly and approachable. I particularly like “Woke Up to Find it Missing”.

It’s the audacious nature of the project that’s so enthralling. It’s all about Why not? A Poundian reach in technicolor!

Excellent writing about complex but absurd work by a wonderful painter!
