Elizabeth Cox
Inspired by light, color, and nature.
Inspired by light, color, and nature. Elizabeth realized at a very young age that art and creating was her passion, her calling.
Graduating with a degree in Graphic Design, she commenced working at an advertising agency in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Elizabeth enjoyed city life, but an opportunity arose to travel across Canada and throughout the United States with fellow artists. This adventure provided her with invaluable artistic insights and enriching life experiences. Upon return to Ontario, Canada, she settled out of the city to a smaller town in Northern Ontario. Here Elizabeth started up a successful illustration studio called, Illustratus. Elizabeth displayed her artistic diversity by creating illustrations and design for businesses such as Pet Smart as well as fine art commissions for collectors such as NHL hockey players.
Several years later, on a meditation retreat in New York, United States, a momentous event occurred in Elizabeth's life. It was a time of deep introspection. This profoundly shifted her artistic focus from fine detail work to painting with a sense of freedom; uninhibited.
Elizabeth now paints in thick oils with an impressionistic vigor, aspiring to rouse an awakening or emotion in her viewer; to feel the joy in the vivid colors and subjects.
Elizabeth's work has been exhibited in Northern Ontario, Vancouver, and Victoria, British Columbia. Her work has also been featured in several magazines. Most recently, Elizabeth's work was featured in 'Women in Art 278' magazine and Art Quench Magazine's, Masters Edition.
Elizabeth's themes are those that resonate with her inner passions and reflect her deep appreciation for nature. Subjects that make her smile or inspire a sense of awe often bring her into the studio for 8 to 15 hour days. From driving down a country road and seeing a breathtaking field of sunflowers to the way the light sparkles on a koi pond, for Elizabeth, inspiration is everywhere.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Artist's Statement:
To me art is everything. I have been painting my whole life but as a full time artist since 2010. I take my inspiration from nature. I express my love for our earth, and every living creature on it; plant and animal, through my vibrant oil paintings. Always striving to make an impact and leave the observer of my work in awe. I paint to bring the joy and beauty of nature to the viewer.
Exciting things are happening in the studio. Recently I find my strong attraction to abstract painting guiding my direction. My focus is on bringing the passion I have for abstract painting and harmonizing it with my love for my impressionist roots.
However, as you will see and feel, you will continue to be able to identify my work by the vibrant colors, usage of light, and distinctive luminous ambiance.

Westward Streets, is a dynamic and captivating painting. I created this work thinking of streets going into a city with a blazing sunset as the background. But that is the wonderful thing about abstract; each person can see something very different.
This work was created by meticulously combining color after color until finally reaching the desired effect. The fiery warmth of the sunset, and purples of the city, create a visually mesmerizing effect as they interact with the blues and greens of the streets.

When I created this work, it started off as an exploration of colour and balance. But as it progressed I started to feel something else unfolding as well. I started to sense the vibration of the colours. To me it became rooted in nature.
Everything around us and all throughout the universe is vibrating and constantly in motion. Even if somethings appear to be still, they are in fact in motion, resonating, and vibrating at various frequencies. So, in fact, all of nature vibrates. If you spend time in nature and learn to listen, you can feel those vibrations and hear nature sing.
Balance is vibrant and alive with a luscious textural appeal. It has a beautiful depth.

I love to paint koi swimming and interacting with each other, the pond plants, water and light. Painting them flowing and moving, with their vibrant colors and whimsical fins, is like capturing moving art. To me koi are dreamy and calming.
