Elizabeth begins by weaving a sculptural form resembling round or oval vessels by coiling with longleaf pine needles and natural raffia. For the last 10 years Elizabeth has painted the surface of her baskets with layers of paint and figures of overlapping, intersecting images to form a visually complex surface rich in color and imagery. The various figures appear as a fusion of primitive art, prehistoric markings, cave paintings and petroglyphs. The viewer is immediately engaged by the masterful forms and the incredible richness of painting.
