"Cosmic Dance"; Elizabeth Lyle



Elizabeth Ann Ward Lyle grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, with honors, from The Atlanta College of Art in 1988. Images of works by Cezanne, Van Gogh, Edvard Munch, Matisse, Picasso, Georgia O'Keefe and other artists of early modern art influenced Elizabeth's youth. In college, Elizabeth learned valuable insight into the relationships of color and form from master colorist, Professor Fred Gregory, who studied under Josef Albers at Yale University. More recently, Elizabeth enjoys studying the work of Hieronymous Bosch, Dali, the great art of "primitive" and cultural world mythology, and Eastern spiritual art. She also digs the beautiful photography of National Geographic magazines!

Elizabeth's earlier work explores the way color creates form and light through themes of nature, landscapes and the human body. In the early 1990's, her working imagery became more pagan-like, addressing earthy sexuality and celebrating divine feminine essence.

Since 1996, Elizabeth has been focusing on her body of watercolor art and stained glass art. Stained glass art has taught the artist another way to paint, another medium for playing with light and color. The current watercolor paintings reflect Elizabeth's spiritual and emotional experiences, seeking to convey inner cosmic discovery. She creates psychedelic effects by the intense relationships of brilliant colors and eye-moving patterns. Each work of art is a jewel to behold, the art practically breathes and moves on its own!
