"Painting allows me to explore my past, present and future by following subconscious instincts which guide me to areas unrecognized by my busy conscious mind. I often discover what a painting means to me long after I have finished it    My goal is to move beyond the ordinary and listen to my "inner voice," trying to tap into the wisdom of spirituality for my paintings."

Liz has taken art classes  for six years at Glendale Community College.  She also had three years of art/philosophy/physics under the tutelage of Lily Ham.   She has also learned from other great teachers, including Virginia Cobb, Betty Braig, Bill Ahrendt, Darlene Goto, Julie Pollard, Evelyn Meiners, Dick Phillips, Ruth Palmisano, Robbie Laird and Pat Lambrick-Hould.

She has been a member of the Phoenix Artists Guild for 20 years, holding offices and for two years was Show Chairman for a large, juried annual show.   She also was associated for over 10 years with the "Q Group", a group of artists working mainly in experimental art. 

Liz's paintings are in corporate and private collections throughout the United States.  Ms. Skelly has exhibited her paintings at Arizona State University, Glendale Arts Show, Peoria Arts Show, Phoenix Artists Guild, Shemer Art Center , and many other select venues, having won numerous awards including first place awards.     Liz can be reached at eliz.skelly@gmail.com                          (Click on photos to enlarge)
