About:

Liz Griesser paints in oils in a traditional manner. Many of her paintings have animals as her subjects. As she says, “Animals paint themselves, I just hold the brush as they come to life.” Her paintings of animals have captured the heart of many collectors. Liz has also been enjoying landscape painting as a plein air painter in competitions for the last 2 years.

Artist Statement:

“Using the familiar landscapes, animals, and surrounding life, I create an earthy and emotive interpretation of my world. Oil paint is my main love. The visceral texture and colors make what I am trying to convey so much easier. I like to say that animals paint themselves, I just hold the brush as they come to life. Their emotion is there on the surface and their story is all in their eyes. Plein air landscape painting has both a challenge and the best teacher ever. Competing in plein air events in the past few years has taught me so much about patience, values, color mixing, and capturing the moment.”
