Hi! I’m Elizabeth Shanahan, and I am an impressionist painter in Tryon, North Carolina, just south of Asheville. My work explores God’s infinite expression of love through His creation, especially landscape.
Inside the Process
I’ve always been a one-draft writer, and I treat my art the same way. My paintings typically evolve quickly: from roughly blocking major forms, to color selection, to final details, all is done on the final piece itself. This means that not every piece works out, but I feel that those pieces that never leave the studio are a vital part of the process for those that do.
