About the Artist
Elizabeth Sullivan
I love to paint aliveness ? the graceful and powerful motion of running horses, the stealth of a cat, the curious pecking of chickens trying to decide if that speck on the ground is edible. I often paint in watercolors; I enjoy the natural flow of that medium. Water flows. Watercolors should flow. The paint contributes to the motion in the painting. I also paint on fabric with dyes to get the same kind of motion. I get inspiration from many things around me, but the styles of art that have most influenced me are primitive cave and rock paintings (not so primitive from my viewpoint) and a style of oriental painting executed quickly, expressing the subject with a few lines. I tried many things to get my paper to look like the walls of a cave, but after I achieved it, I got carried away with color. Now in my old age I am crippled and in a wheelchair, but I can still paint. It brings me joy.
