Meet The Artist
She began studying art at the age of 14 when she entered the four-year art course at Commerce High School in Ottawa. Shortly afterward, Elisabeth sold pencil portraits on commission while managing a small art gallery in Hull, Quebec.
Elisabeth went on to further her artistic training, taking various fine and commercial arts courses at Algonquin College, the Ottawa School of Art and the Haliburton School of Fine Arts. She also earned a B.A. in English Literature from Trent University, followed by a Bachelor of Education from the University of Ottawa. She has been teaching and painting extensively since then.
Elisabeth is fascinated by the images which surround her and is often overwhelmed by the number of ideas that strike her as she drives through the Ottawa Valley and in her travels to such places as B.C., New England, Florida, Mexico, Spain and Portugal.
She has had a number of successful private showings . . .assisted by her husband John, a Professional Development Instructor.
