My work consists of inner landscapes. Adding paint and ink to the canvas or paper, I feel the fire or the sea or perhaps the green meadow. Excavating through the composition, my paintings express energy and spirit. Process reigns with each stroke as my brush is engulfed by a territory within. Outlining the color with black ink, I continue to go deeper. Finally a painting emerges -- faith that the journey is now complete--the elements merge into one. Elizabeth Hack / Berkeley, California


Artweek Magazine Review:
"[Elizabeth Hack] ... presented quiet paint and ink meditations on the never-ending ebb and flow of ocean tides. Lovely and serene, these works showed imperfect and varied lines that rolled and oozed across the canvas. She used metalic sparingly to play up the cool greens, blues and corals that echoed a seaside palette. Over the painted surface, Hack outlined each wave's nuance with a thin black line of ink. The art itself in this [3 person exhibit] stood up to careful scrutiny -- all of it solid and compelling."
