Description
Liljegren, Elizabeth, 2018 acrylic on canvas, Thiebaud Revisited I, signed Liljegren in lower right, good condition, not examined out of frame, image size: 8 x 10 inches. Elizabeth Liljegren, a Bethany College graduate living south of Lindsborg and a Lindsborg/McPherson area artist who had a 37 year career as an art educator at McPherson High School. She continued to produce art during her teaching years working primarily as a painter with occasional pursuits into printmaking, fibers and ceramics. Today as a painter, she works mostly in the watercolor medium, gouache, which is an opaque form of watercolor. Much of her recent work focuses on environmental issues sometimes done with a hint of humor to “soften the blow” of the seriousness of the subject. Fish imagery is often used as a metaphor for global warming and for the role humans have played in the loss of habitat for species that are now endangered. Her work also explores ideas that reflect personal interests. In retirement, Elizabeth is actively involved as a volunteer with several art agencies and art museums in Lindsborg and McPherson. When not busy supporting the arts, she can be found working in her studio at her rural home in Lindsborg.
