# About me
Hi! My name's Elizabeth. Pleased to meet you (or I will be, if you introduce yourself instead of merely creeping my page)!I do a lot of random types of art, often with very strange materials when I'm too lazy to go to the store. You won't ever see me post a sculpture carved from a carrot, however, or the results of that one time I got bored while colonizing petri dishes with bacteria (and placed the bacteria so they would grow in the shape of... a rocket ship... totally not a penis...). This is because some art bares too much of who I am, and some art (like my petri dishes) is really not something I can be proud of. The art I'm most proud of is my writing and two-dimensional visual art. So that's what you'll see on my page.
I believe that art is an interpretation of what is in front of you. It's drawing something with your own twist to make it original. Some of my work is not that, but I try to capture the spirit of creation in everything I do. This philosophy has become more than just an artistic statement. It has started to become a way of life.
There is something magical in the act of placing colour on a blank page, of creating something (beautiful, because all art needs to be beautiful even if that beauty is not readily apparent) out of nothing. My other love in this world (besides my feline companion) is science, and the contradiction between my two worlds sends a shiver down my spine. Science tells me that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, and that entropy (chaos) is always increasing, but art seems to contradict the very laws of nature. Art is order, even in chaos. Art is beauty, even when it mirrors an ugly world. Art creates the energy that feeds those who create. Art and science combined explain why I am here and why I am still here.
I try to give credit where it is due. My little icon thing is Dali's self-portrait, and for those of you who don't know, "living life on eleven" is meant to refer to the movie Spinal Tap. Not the greatest movie (though it is pretty great) but giving my all and embracing every situation (my current life state) can be best represented by the reference.
Sometimes I try to be funny. Please do humour me!

Nice work! The sunken city WOW! The colours, the use of paint, concept, juxtaposition of balancing imagery (buildings), the use of domed palace/garitas works magnificently. Love it.

Lol studied art and education at uni but became a Registered Nurse instead. I had some really awesome teachers at various schools I attended and some great lecturers and great practical tutors at uni. Never finished the degree and I dropped education in second year. Third year I was doing 2nd and 3rd year subjects in order to make up and decided I needed a paying career lol.
Left it too long, you have 10 years to go back to finish. Doubt t I'd get any recognition for prior learning. Oh well start again. Who knows I may do better than a pass in fiber and textile practical...
