Elizabeth Hancock
Artist Statement
As an oil painter I love to explore the depths of consciousness through figurative oil paintings. I gravitate towards both nature settings and otherwordly terrain, with individuals often engaged in meditation, contemplation, or self-reflection.
Magic, mystery and wonder is a large part of my work and I love to explore worlds that are expressive of our hidden curiosities and spiritual depths. I feel that we all have been in touch with this aspect of ourselves at one time or another and my aim is to use visual art as a catalyst for remembering our innate divinity and unlimited potential we all share.
