#Portrait
Nothing like a challenge! my first time painting @eugeneoz (he painted me last time!) we took a while to stop and find a groove but painting simultaneously was a very fun and interesting experience, would love to try again ☺️

Hi, I’m Liz Gridley, an artist from Melbourne, Australia. My work centers on my experiences of states of hyper-emotion. My background is in life drawing and retail art supplies stores. Though the recent revelation of my diagnosis with ADHD has shed light on my emotional nature, hyper-emotion remains a core element of my personality and sense of self.
Through figurative oil paintings and contemporary surfaces such as aluminium panels I aim to reflect internal states and connect viscerally with the viewer. The personal inevitability of death & death care is a point in which dialogue can be culturally celebrated or silenced. Here my experience with hyper-emotion makes room for conversation that is often taken for granted or pushed aside as taboo.
