Elizabeth
Koval Maffeo is a freelance artist who, for nearly
20 years, has been capturing the tranquil spirituality
of nature in her work. Using a watercolor/ gouache
technique, each of her paintings radiates from a
central, multifaceted theme with vivid color and
sublime texture.
“In my art, I embrace and entwine my Japanese
heritage with my love for
photography and nature by producing images that
capture the essence of
cultural mystique and symbolism through extremely
realistic detail.”
Elizabeth’s
art is conceived in a serial format with an in-depth
thematic focus.
Her diverse love for symbolism, fantasy and dream
imagery pervades each series.
And
thus, a new chapter in this artist’s life
has unfolded….
From 1998-2003, Elizabeth had the opportunity to
create art in the 3-D realm
while working in Museum fabrication. During that
time, Elizabeth further developed
and strengthened her artistic skills by creating
models and natural history dioramas.
Currently, Elizabeth is painting, working on commissioned
sculptures
and volunteering at local museums.
