Elizabeth Whiteley

Studio Artist: Painter, Sculptor Washington DC, USA

" I explore the areas and ratios of square root rectangles for their geometric and aesthetic properties. My hope is that my artworks will awaken, in the viewer, the same sense of life's joys and possibilities which I feel as I create in my studio. I paint and make sculpture to express my delight in seeking visual relationships and finding new connections within simple geometric shapes. The discovery of harmony and symmetry leads to peace of mind. When I complete an artwork, I have a sense that there is, indeed, order and beauty in this seemingly chaotic world. "
