Painting Flowers is my passion
Identifying as an Adelaide flower painter, I paint portraits of flowers, in particular, Australian native flowers.

Adelaide Flower Painter
Elisabeth identifies as a flower painter. Rather than a still life painter, she considers herself the maker of flower portraits. While Elisabeth has a love of flowers, particularly native Australian flowers, it is the forms of flowers that she loves to paint, and something deeper than that. In the deep and ancient beauty of Australian native flowers, the artist finds depth. Living near the Adelaide foothills and near a small conservation park, Elisabeth lives with her husband Simon and two children. Elisabeth is indeed an Adelaide flower painter. Her work is collected all around Australia.

Impasto Oil Painter
I paint predominantly in oil. I thicken the oil paint with impasto medium. I use Australian paint. I paint with paint brushes, and sometimes painting knives, occasionally both. I use Princeton paint brushes.
