This week, Jenn sits down with artist Liz Park. Originally from Pennsylvania, Liz graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2006 with a B.F.A in Painting. She then moved out to the Tetons (Jackson Hole, WY) where she lived for 10 years, working as a wrangler on a guest ranch, in the office at a ski resort, and even making granola bars on her way to becoming a full-time artist. Liz moved to northern Washington state in early 2017, which is where she currently works and resides.
Her medium of choice for many years has been acrylic paint on varnished wood panels - she uses a simplified color palette and plays with negative space letting the wood grain show through to create interesting compositions, usually of wildlife and mountain scenes.
In 2021, she began experimenting with using watered-down acrylic washes on canvas to mimic watercolor, still striving to create an interesting background to create compositions around.
She also loves to draw and use whatever mediums she has on hand to bring to life the parade of fun, strange things that ramble through her brain.
