Louise Faulkner, Elizabeth (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2024)

Elizabeth is a multi-media artist whose life changed dramatically when she was hit by a car, suffering significant body and brain injuries. This event deeply etched itself into her life and art. Beauty in all things, symbols and symbolism are important to Elizabeth. In her studio she is surrounded by carefully arranged natural & mystical objects, star maps & flowers. These are tended to, meaningful on a variety of levels known only to Elizabeth. Her artworks are focused on the self, fine and detailed, contained yet expressive, colourful yet subdued. Elizabeth’s artmaking is her emotional release, the foundation of her growing resilience in the face of ongoing pain and loss.
