Our Buffalo, NY - West Seneca Painting with a Twist Artists

Eliza

My PWAT family calls me Eliza! I am passionate about art, design and all creative pursuits. I paint, draw, illustrate, and love music. I was born in a very small town, which inspired my love of nature. In my free time I hike, ski, swim, camp and anything that puts me in the middle of the woods. I moved to Buffalo 5 years ago to pursue a B.F.A. in Communication Design and I graduated from Buffalo State College in May, 2015. Upon obtaining my degree, I’ve been able to work with numerous clients as a freelancer to design logos, business cards, websites and more. I am excited to join the Painting with a Twist family for many reasons including working in a hands on environment as opposed to a digital one. Most importantly I am excited to share my love of painting and introduce people to new a creative outlet they can use to express themselves and create beautiful works of art!

Art is my passion. I’ve loved to draw and paint ever since I can remember. I wanted art to last all day, not just a class period. When I started high school, I made that happen. I started painting and I just couldn’t stop. Every spare moment was spent in the art studio with teachers that pushed me to be who I am today. I am an artist who is fascinated by the human figure, nature, and oil paints. I currently attend Buffalo State College for Art Education, with a minor in Art Therapy. I had such an amazing art experience throughout school and I want nothing more than to give that same experience to others. I have a desire to share my knowledge and passion with all generations. I want to touch lives and be the person that pushes others pursue their own crazy dreams. Creativity is so important and should be carried throughout a lifetime, not just that class period.

Every since I can remember, art is the only thing I wanted to do. Truly my passion. I took my first painting class my junior year in high school and it was love at first brush stroke. I continued painted at my time at Buffalo State College,where I obtained a degree in art education. In my paintings today, I am inspired by nature and the symphony of colors it brings. Aside from painting, I am also an extreme crafter, knitter, and flair bartender. To put it simply, I make stuff, and I love doing it.

We live in a world where saying no is easy. It takes the most courageous of people to forge forward and try new things; to say yes. Since I was very young it has been pointed out to me often, but I'm an oddball. Currently studying Fine Arts and Music education at Buffalo State, I continue to try to encourage others to be themselves, even if it means being on. Much of my inspiration for painting comes from everyday life. Our lives and our personalities make us different, so let's put that into our art! Nothing will ever compare to that freedom.
