Elizabeth Starnes

watercolor portraits

 

Elizabeth Starnes, a New York native, has made West Texas her home where she has earned a name as one of the premier portrait artists in Texas.  She is widely recognized as a gifted artist whose portrait paintings capture the emotional essence and character of her subjects.  Starnes images are realistic and lifelike and her work with watercolors is especially impressive.  Her technique of layering transparent glazes results in deep, rich colored paintings that immediately draw the eye of anyone in its presence. 

Starnes has been referred to as a “soul reader”, where her work spiritually connects with her subjects, capturing soulful expressions that tell the story of a captured moment in time.  Each portrait tells an endless story of life and human drama.
