Captivating landscapes and abstract art by Elizabeth.
Captivating landscapes and abstract art by Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Humphreys is an oil painter based in California’s Coachella Valley. Working primarily on canvas, her work explores the interplay of landscape and abstraction, with a focus on light, texture, and the emotional resonance of color.
Born in New York City and having lived in the UK for nearly a decade, Elizabeth brings a layered sense of place to her practice. Her synesthesia—a neurological trait that allows her to perceive sound and memory as color—deeply informs her palette and approach, infusing each piece with a sensory depth that transcends the visual.
Elizabeth’s paintings are grounded in observation but guided by feeling, drawing viewers into immersive environments where realism and abstraction meet.
"Santa Barbara at Twilight" - 12 x 24 oil on canvas.
This was based on a photo I took years ago from a house in Shepherd Mesa, overlooking Santa Barbara across the bay. My first oil painting was based on this photo, so I revisited it after years of growth and learning. Looking at this painting I almost feel like I'm back on that balcony, admiring the view!
