Elizabeth Acevedo has been painting since she was able to hold a pencil. As a young girl in Puerto Rico, she was tutored privately. Her passion for art grew strong as a young woman and at that time Liz knew she wanted to paint for the rest of her life. Liz has studied at the internationally renowned "Liga de Arte" in Old San Juan and the Art Institute of Philadelphia.

Liz's philosophy is a gift from her father's multiplicity of concerns with astronomy, science and math. Her inquisitive mind and interest in zen and cosmology has allowed her to expand beyond the realm of reality into a world of surrealism, which is clearly reflective in her work.

Most of Liz's current work is inspired by her garden. It is the place that she finds peace and sanctuary among the flowers, birds, and insects that lay refuge there.
