“HOME GROWN”: Artist Elizabeth Robbins will present “Painting Still Life With Oils” in a free Artsbridge Distinguished Artists Series Zoom presentation on November 19 at 7 p.m. To attend, visit artsbridgeonline.com.

Frost may have taken out the flowers, but they’ll be in full bloom via Zoom on November 19  at 7 p.m. when Elizabeth Robbins presents at Artsbridge’s Distinguished Artists Series. The National Oil Painters of America 2020 Still Life Award of Excellence winner will demonstrate her painting technique and show some of her award-winning masterpieces in “Painting Still Life With Oils.”

Raised in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, Robbins now lives and works in Ogden. She is best known for her classically beautiful floral still life but also enjoys painting portraits and capturing the soul of a person. Her love of flowers began in childhood, thanks to her grandmother helping her identify various wild flowers at their cabin above Oakley, Utah.

“I still have the book that I pressed and categorized wild flowers with my grandmother,” she said.

Robbins also grows all the flowers that she lovingly paints. Over 100 roses, peonies, lilies, sunflowers and many other flowers are just a step away from her 600-square-foot studio where she paints. She is co-owner of Bella Muse Gallery in Ogden, Utah and owns Bella Muse Productions where she films and produces instructional painting videos and offers painting scholarships to help inspire other artists along their journey.
