Liz Bauer's Artist Statement - Written by me

An artist’s passion can become animalistic in its very nature. The feeling is basic, it’s aggressive, it’s a fight for life and the need to survive.

To create art is what breathes life into the artist. Art is a necessity and passion is the blinding force behind it.

For Liz Bauer art is life. It is her air, her haven, her joy and her sorrow. Art is her everything. Looking at her work you can see the love and attention it gets. You can feel its weight. What its mood is. You’ll know what it’s about because it will resonate with you.

It’s complexity wrapped in innocence. At first glance childlike, at second interesting, at third – powerful. It’s straightforward and intricate in detail. It tells a story about her life: her growth as a person and her struggle to find herself. Liz’s art is not an object. It’s a living force emanating from her soul, through her hands and onto paper.

Her use of words or short statements along with her characters adds to the meaning behind her paintings. Some are serious, some are funny, and all are great.
