In 2007, Elizabeth left her studio behind to initiate an art-study tour of the museums of Paris, France and of Flemish art of Belgium. Following an extensive three-week program, Elizabeth has emerged with many fresh impressions and begun a new series of works dedicated to the beauty of old Europe and its many treasures.

Elizabeth continued her research of man-made architectural treasures and cityscapes following that initial tour. In 2008 she travelled to New York City to observe first-hand the iconic skyline and returned with a fresh series of modern cityscapes the likes of which have never been seen before. Inspired by the magnificence of the modern American form, she took in the sights of Los Angeles and San Francisco, travelling to California. There she was mesmerized by the beauty of the Southern West Coast and the blend of cultures found within.

Elizabeth has had a life-long dedication to visual arts. She is an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists, Ontario Society of Artists. Elizabeth’s paintings can be found in the collections of MBA Ottawa University, Government of Ontario Art Collection and 300+ private collections around the world.
