Elizabeth Jose - Jazz Singer, Vocal Coach, Painter, and Author. "I originally trained in Fine Art Painting in England and then put my painting on the back burner as I worked as a singer and singing teacher. It wasn’t until moving to Taos that I started painting in earnest again and made it my number one priority. I have always been the most curious ‘’people-watcher’ so it is no surprise that I am drawn to portraiture; I enjoy the process of trying to capture not only the idiosyncratic features of the person but also some aspect of the energy and character of the sitter. I try not to over-think a painting, I do find that my best work happens when my mind is quiet and I get a sense of the picture emerging from the canvas. I had never painted a landscape before moving here and now I go out every week with painting buddies, capturing the colours of the changing seasons in these breathtaking surroundings. I get such deep pleasure from beauty and hope to share that pleasure, through my vision, with others."
