Elizabeth has been painting for twenty five years and has studied art at the Ontario College of Art and Design, The Toronto School of Art, The Instituto of san Miguel del Allende, The von Liebig Art Center as well as with many well known artists.

She belongs to several art groups in the Toronto area, The Don Valley Art Club, the Toronto Watercolor Society, the Riverdale art Group.

Her work sells from her studio, in juried shows, group and private shows and through commissions.  She has received Honorable Mentions and Best in Show.

Elizabeth has also had a successful career in virus research and as a teacher at the high school level.

Her vibrant enthusiastic nature and love of color spill into her work.  The eclectic subject matter of her paintings is the result of her roaming nature. She paints wherever she travels and she travels a lot.

While working in Naples one day she wrote:

I watch the evening sun go down

And the beautiful colors swirl around.

Cerelian blue, quinacridone gold, alizarian crimson

Float to and fro.

God holds the brush.

He paints the sky.

It is His canvass.

He holds it from on high.
