Collection: ELIZABETH WRIGHT

Originally from New Canaan, CT, I moved to Jackson, Wyoming in June 2003. The beautiful scenery around Jackson inspired me to paint landscapes. Many of my paintings are scenes I encounter while hiking, such as aspen groves, rivers and lakes, and mountain views. The landscape around Jackson is uniquely remote and wild and I strive to capture the sense of solitude and freedom offered by such wilderness. I am most intrigued by contrasts of light and dark created by the sun filtering through trees, or the atmospheric perspective involving layers of clouds and mountains in the background.

For five years I was the director of Center Street Gallery in Jackson, WY. I also sold my landscape paintings there from 2007-2010. I participated in the Out of the Box auction at the Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, June 2005 and 2007. I also participated in the Plein Air Festival at the museum in 2019. I have shown work at the Center for the Arts in Jackson, including the December Maker’s Market, and the annual Teton Plein Air Painters’ Exhibit.
