Elizabeth Heller


Elizabeth Heller at Cerulean Arts

Through my art, I express a beauty, harmony, and power that I see in the visible world- simplified and channeled through myself as a unique individual. My work is based on close observation of the natural world, but the motivation to create it comes from a deeper, more emotional state that I enter into, when I find a subject. As I look at certain landscapes, arrangements of objects, or other people, a special clarity or meaning emerges, and compels me to record this unified beauty I see. 
I work in oil paint on canvas or wood panel, always referring to a three-dimensional subject. My sculptures are modeled from life, and through them, I describe the precious individuality of the person who modeled for me. When I look at the world, I see a subtle and delicate geometry, formed by the balancing of shapes, colors, space, and light. This delicate artistic geometry has an emotional meaning, and it speaks to me as a unified whole. It is my meaningful endeavor to unlock this message of beauty from the world.
