Lizzie Abelson’s work is rooted in a close and ongoing relationship with landscape and architecture, both observed and remembered. After receiving her formal training at the Rhode Island School of Design, Lizzie further developed her foundation in painting and drawing into a practice rooted in observation, material sensitivity, and openness to exploration. That experience continues to inform her work.
In the studio, Lizzie’s paintings often begin in reference to the landscape but gradually shift toward something between representation and abstraction. Time spent in Provincetown, especially during her artist residency, deepened this connection between what is seen and what is felt. The horizon, shifting light, and transitions between land and water have been the basis for the works shown at the gallery.
