Elizabeth Bernheisel

Color is what grabs me when I enter my studio and it is the first thing I consider when starting a new painting. I am completely motivated by color. I use a variety of media and am always trying new ones in my work. My painting begins with gestural drawing using graphite and colorful pastels or brushing washes of color across the canvas with acrylic inks. I love how this first layer can blend with the paint and create variations of color and translucent layers.

My goal with my painting is to create work that in its beauty is uplifting and joyful.

I live in Delray Beach and work out of my studio in West Palm Beach near Grandview Public Market. Studio visits by appointment.

Elizabeth’s work can be seen locally at The Palm Beach Design Showroom in Lake Worth and the Palm Beach Artist Collective at Studio 1608 in West Palm Beach.
