The organic patterns are diverse and beautiful. Liz Brady paints with oil, graphite, and encaustic wax on wood panels that allow her to scratch, sand and layer the surface multiple times. The end result is a richly layered painting that reveals more than just the subject when viewed close up.
The connection between all forms of life is apparent on the microscopic level and the repetition of forms is intriguing.
“I have been living and painting in Santa Barbara for the past 20 years. Throughout this time I have done studies of a variety of forms from trees to water. Organic forms and studies of the beginnings of botanic life are prevalent in my most recent work.” Liz explains.
”I am exploring the different compositions of simple plant pods as well as the more intricate patterns of plant life under a microscope.” A collection of pods and photographs gathered during research line the walls of Liz’s studio.
