A More Personal Biography
Elizabeth’s dream was always a place like Sedona.
She made her art name Eden as she felt she was truly in Eden—Sedona,
when she arrived. Living on ranches since the age of three, and
riding horses her entire life, made visual observing a real factor
to her painting. From the time she learned to write she also sketched.
After many grade school/junior/high school teachers, she evolved
doing all the mediums. Studying at Philbrook Museum/with guest and
resident art teachers (Jay O’Meilia being one of many). Also
viewing how Dr. Carl W. Lindstrom painted the masters. All Tulsa,
Oklahoma residents. She has always been inspired by beauty. Tulsa
being a little Beverly Hills.
 |
Marriage at 18 took away her
surge; but other interests paralleled her main art interest,
rather mellowing, ideas all the time. In 1980, her only two
sons left the nest leaving her with three canvases to start
up her career, once again. The last 22 years have been rather
diligently “mastering the masters.” |
She had the opportunity to come to Sedona in 1990. The gallery
trips were quite distracting and bewildering to someone who was
so informed from Tulsa with the Thomas Gilcrease Museum and Philbrook
Museum. Meeting Mr. Gilcrease personally and knowing his daughter
Des Cygne. The protocol in Sedona was quite different and most difficult
to understand. After going to all the galleries, and being made
one subservient offer by one of the more renowned gallery owners---she
just continued to paint.
 |
She has a Grand Canyon study---to
do---and working with other places to paint in Arizona. Whatever
might “come to mind”--as her spirit is free and
virtually she is self-taught, as she remembers reading about
Georgia O’Keefe who said, “It took me five years
to unlearn what I was taught in college.” She has never
been instructed in oils. One New Age person, on viewing her
art said, “The masters are channeling through your art.”
That gave her quite a chuckle. |
Mostly painting five hours a day for 19 years. Now she is on the
“time-clock” and has slowed a bit---as she is an avid
reader and gardener involving herself in the newspapers in Sedona
and playing with her beautiful dog “Doc” who has now
since passed away after, a long life of, 15 years. She still has
her beloved husband of 50 years. Her beautiful large home is her
studio, gorgeous oil paintings along with her art collection, adorn
the walls. Now her true stage will show, “exhibition”
by the World Wide Web---APPLAUSE ONLY now.
Please enjoy viewing her lovely website “ArtistImpressionist.com”.
