Elizabeth Ross

Elements from nature frequent my images: horizon lines, plant forms, seed and leaf structure, weather. Nature is also a vehicle to render emotional and spiritual aspects of my life, be it grief and loss, intimacy, turmoil and the unrelenting pulse of life. Alongside these issues are my concerns with social and environmental justice, how we live with all inhabitants on the planet.

I work on a printing press developing monotypes with both mixed and dry pigments. The painting are on board, some of the marks are incised harkening back to my years in intaglio printmaking.
