The paintings of Elliot Twelvetrees are abstract visions, glimpses of interior landscapes, fragments ofvisual stories told with lush colorfields and mark making made with both standard and conventionaltools. Informed by training in Bellas Artes, in Madrid, Spain, and a career as a decorative painter, shefuses classical and modern paint techniques to abstract and abstract expressionist sensibilities.Brought up in a touring, musical family, she has lived in and experienced many cities and cultures in theU.S., Europe, and Central America. Her aesthetic has been cultivated in countless museums, libraries,natural landscapes, and city cafes. " When I compose and make a painting, I am conjuring with color,gestural line, memory, and layers of paint. I want you to see vistas from the corner of your eye,remember a long poem, hear a distant melody, be envelopedby a subtle or powerful mood"
