Elisa Ann Lindstrom’s Summary
Artists Statement:
I strive for my work to embrace the calm, quiet, simple aspects of nature. Be that through an image of a bird perched on a wire or a view of a landscape with a large open sky, I love capturing these moments on canvas. It is important to me that my art gives the viewer a sense of peace and evokes feelings of freedom while celebrating the beauty of the world around us.
My technique:
I create each piece by applying multiple forms of media in different painting and drawing techniques. First, I use acrylic paints that are thinned down with matte medium to create translucent layers of color which I build up until there is just enough depth and texture. I continue to use the paint/matte medium mixture and incorporate more mediums such as gouache, water color, charcoal, conte crayon and soft pastels to develop detail. This adds more texture and dimension as well as increases the color palette and the vibrancy of the hues. I love working in mixed media because not only am I more inclined to take risks with color and form but also I never really know what is going to turn out with each chance I take.
