Ink Women Drawings

I am submitting these ink drawings into the Norwich Art Center's October exhibit "In The Pink," where 50% the sales of the work sold goes to the Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation. Thinking about this theme, I wanted to create artwork that depicted strong, defiant and expressive women.

I hope you like them! The exhibition dates for "In The Pink" are October 2nd to October 26th at the Norwich Art Center at 60 Broadway, Norwich, CT 06360. Opening reception/ Meet the artists is First Friday October 6th from 6-8 pm. 

Solar Plate Etching Printmaking

I spent today learning about Solar Plate Etching with the wonderful artist Carol Dunn and a friend. Solar Plate Etching is a less hazardous and toxic printmaking method where no chemicals are used, we even cleaned our plates with vegetable oil, not paint thinner. A nice change from some of the other printmaking methods I've tried. These are my best prints from today.

30 Under 30 Exhibit

I have three pieces featured in the Norwich Arts Center's current exhibit "30 Under 30."

I went to the opening reception last night and was very happy to see my selfie has a prime spot under the show's title in the gallery!

"Liza Basks" 2013. Soft pastels.

"The Horn" 2013. Soft pastels.

"The Orchid" 2011. Photolithograph.

The show is on display September 4th- September 28th, 2013 at the Norwich Arts Center located in downtown Norwich at 60 Broadway, Norwich, CT 06360. Hours are Wednesday- Saturday 12-4 pm.

Also- I am listed on the Norwich Art Center's website! Just my name along with all the other artist members. However, I am listed as Elizabeth, just in case you're wondering, my full name is Elizabeth, but I do not go by that name on the whole, I prefer to be called Liza, as I'm sure you can guess by the name of this blog. You can see my name listed on this page under Meet The Artists, I am the first one listed. 

Go see the show anytime this month, lots of young artists from across Connecticut with very interesting work are featured!
