Meet Central NY Artist

ELIZABETH DARDIS

It all began with a dream of creating the ideas that I imagined since childhood. The paintings seem to paint themselves when I take time to simply breathe and enjoy the beautiful backyard gardens I’ve created with my husband.

The places that make me feel the happiest are sitting by a babbling brook or a roaring ocean.

My fascination with history inspires me to connect my art with story and imagery! I love creating story in my art by adding people who are enjoying nature or being part of a community.

I have spent many hours sitting by the Erie Canal and the countless water ways in Central NY…with my sketch pad and paint bag in hand. The hours fly by as I capture the beauty and serenity.
