Liz Thoresen Fine Art
Gallery
Hello!
I live in a beautiful part of the Pacific Northwest where I find inspiration from nature, the weather, colors, shapes both man-made and natural, and the sheer beauty of the world around me. The magic that happens when color blends on paper, canvas, or board excites me and leads me from painting to painting. Some believe we should find our visual voice and pursue that one direction. I prefer to respond emotionally and express my ideas in their own unique manner.
My painting, "Whispers in the Grove", was selected by the US State Department and on loan to the American Embassy in Brunei. After nearly four years, it was recently returned to my collection.

I am always excited to see what new things Liz is working on. Over the years, I have seen her explore many different styles of painting but the one thing that is obvious is that she is always taking in her surroundings and that is reflected in her art. No matter the subject matter or technique, there is always a hint of nature, be that from color, texture or theme. When you look closely, you will discover the multiple layers and varied textures that make every painting unique. I feel that her artwork is true to her, but she is able to create meaning with it for others. What a gift! - Clarissa J.
“Finding the Right Note” by Liz Thoresen absolutely resonates with me. It hangs in the music room over the computer I use for a recording studio. The painting bursts with creativity and inspiration. I find this interpretation by Liz of a musical experience amazing because it reveals something new every time I look at it. The moment I first saw “Finding the Right Note” I knew I had to have it! - W. Carson
There is always something fresh and unexpected to explore in Liz’s work: the lush botanicals, evocative landscapes and seascapes, vibrant abstracts that draw you in deep, or her flights of pure imagination. Whatever her subject, her paintings bear testimony to her skill with their intelligent composition, unique textures, and vibrant color. Liz has a generosity of spirit and an exuberance about life which she clearly expresses in her art. - Wendy B.
We love Liz’s work and have a number of her pieces in our home. “That Morning” is hung where I see it as I commence my day. It is so beautiful and captures such a magical moment that even on the cloudiest of Pacific Northwest days it inspires me to ponder with hope the dawning of a brighter day. Liz has imbued her art with a special spirit that brings it to life. – Sylvia C.
