Piece description from the artist
Wings in Flight was created with multiple sheen layers of fluid acrylic, coffee, coffee grounds, and colored pencil.
Like most of my pieces, I am inspired by Mother Nature when I create. Brooding moody skies speak to me and I often use them as inspiration when creating art with a neutral toned palette. This piece is different than the majority of my paintings in that it doesn't have a great deal of texture. I used coffee grounds and limestone powder to add a minimal amount of texture which emphasizes the depth, but the main focus of this piece are the multiple layers of fluid paint. Some colors were added at the same time so that the tones melted together, and some colors were added after the underlayers had dried completely. Each addition of the layers was a constant balancing act to keep the composition where I wanted it.
In addition to the materials used, my technique was quite different with this piece as well. The strokes I implemented to meld the colors/layers together was smooth and consistent. Whispy motions of the brush and hand adds a softness to this piece. The shapes created with this motion made me think of birds' wings, hence the name, Wings in Flight.
Elizabeth Mason is an abstract landscape artist originally from Oceanside, CA, currently residing in Los Angeles. For as long as she can remember, art has always played an integral part in how she communicates, how she expresses herself, and how she sees the world.
Elizabeth focuses on mixed media with an emphasis on texture, giving the landscape aspect of her pieces a striking and unique layer of warmth, depth and dimension. She thinks of art as a form of thought provoking therapy for the observer, so implementing elements of grounding earth and organic textures that you can see and feel are what Elizabeth is drawn to most.
Elizabeth takes her inspiration from Mother Nature. The spidering branches from the deep roots to the tops of a tree, the way the retreating waves on a beach leave the same branch-like forms in the sand, and the way the rain leaves those same impressions in the hills of mountains. The structure of our irises and the wrinkles on our hands. These natural formations even appear in the galaxy and across the universe. It is infinite and it is beautiful.
Elizabeth has a strong working relationship with many interior designers in Los Angeles, and her work has been added to rosters of prominent art dealers in the Los Angeles, including Posner Fine Art and Art Dimensions, Inc. Elizabeth is a member of Los Angeles Art Association, and Women in Luxury Design; an esteemed business networking organization comprised of leading women in the luxury design/building industries.
