Come see the evolving works of Lizzie Abelson during the months of September and October at the Boylston Public Library. Lizzie is a local artist who we are happy to have showing at the Boylston Library once again. Lizzie's current body of work is an evolving exploration of unpeopled open spaces on an intimate scale. Her most recent paintings depict spaces that feel at once familiar and foreign. She is drawn to liminal spaces, quiet colors, strong compositional elements, and balanced arrangements of perfect imperfections that invite the viewer in while also evoking a subtle sense of mystery, unease, or aloneness.

 

Local fields, woods, and waters have taken the stage while the process of painting them has become, more than ever, both a form of meditation and of escape. The scenes she is drawn towards are those that most strike a nostalgic and personally sentimental chord - subtly wild, marginally untamed, and comfortably familiar. Explore spaces with Lizzie's work during the months of September and October at the Boylston Public Library.
