Collection: Elizabeth Robbins

Elizabeth was raised in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. She is best
known for her classically beautiful floral Still Life but also enjoys
painting portraits and capturing the soul of a person. As a child, her
Grandmother's would help her identify various wild flowers at their
cabin above Oakley, Utah. This is where her love of flowers began.
"I still have the book where I pressed and categorized wild flowers
that my paternal Grandmother helped me with." Robbins also grows
all the flowers that she lovingly paints. Over 100 roses, peonies,
lilies, sunflowers and many other flowers are just a step away from
her 600 sq. ft studio where she paints. She is co-owner of Bella
Muse Gallery in Ogden, Utah and owns Bella Muse Productions
where she films and produces instructional painting videos and offers
painting scholarships to help inspire other artists along their journey.
She has won numerous awards including “Best Still Life” and “Best
of Show” at the National Oil and Acrylic Painter’s Exhibit and the “Tuffy Berg Award” at the 2008 CM Russell auction. She is represented by several top galleries. She also co-owns Inspired to Paint with her friend Shanna Kunz. Inspired to Paint is an online art membership course.

Her work is in private collections throughout the United States and in the Ella Dunnegan
Museum in Bolivar, MO.

Artist’s Statement:
There is something about flowers that just makes my heart sing and although I paint a variety of subjects, flowers are what give me the most joy. I have over 90 roses, many peonies, lilies, sunflowers and many other flowers are just a step away from my 600 sq. ft studio where I paint. I am drawn to dramatic lighting, color and emotion. I strongly
believe that art heals and that each painting is painted with the energy to heal someone. This is what I strive for in my paintings.
