Elizabeth is a Portland oil painter from Munjoy Hill, and she simply cannot get enough of Vinalhaven–there is no subject matter that calls to her more! She visited for the first time twelve years ago and jumps at any opportunity she can to go back, whether it be for a day trip, a long weekend or most recently, a month at a house on Sands Rd. Elizabeth loves exploring Vinalhaven’s coves on her yellow paddleboard; she loves jumping into the quarries and off of the granite ledges in the Basin; and she loves exploring ALL of the trails. For her, the inspiration from the working harbor and the natural beauty of the island is intoxicating. She works both en plein air and in her studio, and when she’s not on Vinalhaven, she’s thinking about how she can get back to it. Sometimes a connection to a place cannot be explained.
