December: Elizabeth Andrews

Landscapes & Still Life
Oil Paintings

Artist Statement:
I immigrated from Poland to the United States over 35 years ago. I lived in the Northern suburbs of Chicago with my husband before moving to Orland Park 14 years ago in order to be close to our children and grandchildren who already were on Southside.

I have always enjoyed creative hobbies, including gardening, making jewelry, knitting and painting. I started oil painting about 5 years ago at Moraine Valley Community College, where I took a 10-week class. During the pandemic I continued painting at home, which resulted in 35 paintings. I love vivid, bright colors, and I use them in all my work. I especially enjoy creating landscapes and still life paintings. Making art is very relaxing and I love the feeling of satisfaction once I am finished with a painting.

Artwork shown here is a sampling of Elizabeth’s work. Visit the second floor of the library during the month of December to view her entire exhibit.
