ARTWORK BY ELISA MG

Hi Friends!

I would describe myself as a contemporary abstract artist who has found her groove later in life.  Living a semi- minimalist life in my Airstream, allowed me to really focus on my acrylic painting.  I may start with a broad theme in mind, then,  I follow my intuitive flow and allow images to reveal themselves as I layer on canvas using various mark making techniques, incorporating whole body movement to get paint on the canvas, and practicing the spiritual practice of really letting go of outcomes and control. 
I want my viewers to pull from my work a sense of resiliency and hope  that carries us beyond life’s circumstances. I love finding beauty and inspiration in day to day life.  I want my bold colors and active lines to show when one finds their voice, actions and growth for the positive follows.  As a Black female artist I feel I bring perspectives not traditionally found in mass in mainstream galleries, and visibility that we really do exist. 
My hope is that my work connects the viewer with feelings of resilience, self-love, gratitude, hope and beauty. When viewing the work I want you to feel the connections we have  through our varied experiences

 For my work this next year I will be working on larger scale pieces. I will be exploring the concept of the pursuit of biodiversity in all aspects of the word,  as a response to all of the negative effects climate change is having on us. Besides my work in Troutdale, I hope you will go see my two pieces showing at the Newmark Theater in Portland.  And if you are looking for something for a small living space I will also be showing small works in a variety of locations around the Portland Metro. 
For my latest work check back on my website, or follow me on instagrams @TinyAdventuresOfElisaMG. It’s easy to reach me by text or phone.
