Elizabeth Faures Rathbone
Multifaceted Artist and Modern Day Priestess
"All life is complex... it involves infinite layers of energy, emotions and forces unseen, just to project a moment. Paintings attempt to encapsulate that moment... to hold still the energy behind whatever it is you are portraying. When I seek to capture the essence of someone or something I am painting, it takes layer upon layer to see through, that the Spirit of that subject is able to exude"
“I like to say that I’m a Born again Priestess… where my Spiritual connection is a remembrance rather than a learning. It is from my depths, who I am; and it influences all areas of my life, especially my Art. For me, they are one in the same. My creation comes through Spirit, and my Spirit exists through Creation.” -Faures
