POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

“I had been oﬀ in the world for five months or so traveling between London and the EU. I spent some time in Spain, and was inspired by the art surrounding me. Picasso & Gaudi mostly but also street art, music, architecture, fashion, color, conversations, people, expressions, moods. I returned back to the States in September for my son’s birthday and to renew my passport.
As I was waiting it out, a friend gave me a place to stay. Another friend gave me a studio to create. So I dove in to create things larger than my traveling sketch book. It felt great to go big again. My first intention was to recreate small portraits on a larger scale of the people I met in the village of Saissac in South France, where I was lucky enough to have a residency for several weeks. But I discovered it didn’t really translate. Sometimes things need to be left intimately small. However, In working through the collective stories of the people I met and the places I travelled, combined with my present state of being, this image emerged.
I see you is my love letter to the people I met but also to myself. Knowing that with each step, I grow stronger in embracing the woman I am becoming with the choices I have made to let everything I know to be safe - go. An experiment in Trust. It is also an ode to awareness and truth.” - ED

Elizabeth Decker, “I See You”, Acrylic on Canvas, (47” x 36”).

Enjoying some reflective time as I settle into my new, temporary living space in Los Angeles.
It feels good to be back. Familiar. It’s not the end of the road for me but a good place to rest and be for a while thanks to my friend who said Stay! While she’s off in Europe.

“He Said. She Said. We Said. ... A conversation. Simplicity. I love the freedom of dripping paint and seeing the images of people appear. Usually, I move into these to enhance their features and layer the story. However, this I felt I didn’t need to go further. Sometimes things are better left alone. My Inside compass was obviously in balance.” - ED

“Trust. Truth. Lies. Deception...I just hate liars and have a sixth sense for deception in my own life, of course, witnessing the behavior around me. There are two key things I need in my relationships: Trust. Truth (and love but this expression isn’t about that). The opposite: a light bulb that clearly switched on to expose that which I couldn’t see before became very bright. Too bright. What I love about this piece is that I allowed myself to see the darkness, except it and move through it. I don’t have to like it but I don’t have to live with it. Art is my place to explore, integrate, express and create. I think everyone should do it. I love the free flowing in the moment expression of articulating moods via paint ~ this mostly with my hands.” - Elizabeth Decker

Elizabeth Decker, “Trust. Truth. Lies. Deception”, Acrylic, Graphite, Mixed Media On Paper, (42” x 30”),
On display through June 30th. www.GDCAgallery.com
