artist statement
Painting is the most fulfilling way for me to get inside the figure and capture an intimate moment in time.
The majority of my paintings are reflections of women of color around me. The richness and diversity within their skin tones inspire me. The shape and beauty of the body, the play of light on the skin is mesmerizing.
My own desire to have a child gave birth to a series of paintings of pregnant women. The roundness and curved lines against the angle of an arm or a shoulder creates negative spaces that are extremely satisfying. As a medium, acrylic paint is immediate and dries quickly, forcing a creative conversation on the canvas. Painting large creates a life size images that become part of a room’s environment.
Composing through the camera lens until my subject completely fills the space, allows the figure to flow off the canvas. This focuses in on what excites me most, the human form.
My figures boldly invite you in to know them.
Elizabeth Carter brings her fresh and vibrant view to the figure. She has shown in galleries across the Bay Area and has many of her paintings displayed in private homes. She lives and paints in Oakland, Ca.
