About Elisabeth Bard:
Elisabeth Bard is in search of images that have a quiet, meditative quality, simple gifts to
soothe our souls.
Texture, color and the patina of our surroundings stimulate our senses and lead to the creation of environmental tapestries and dreamlike scenes.
Throughout her career, she has tried to create the sensation of time within two-dimensional spaces whether through paint or the movement of the camera. The movement of light across the camera sensor and the motion of the camera feels like a dance to me.She creates windows into worlds of the space we inhabit. These are gateways into fantasy, fairy-like places that exist between the seemingly hard and fast edifices of our rapidly changing world.
Elisabeth resides in Newark, Delaware and works from her home. She is the mother of two cats and two grown children. She is a avid knitter and reader.
