“IT’S PRIMARY" is a vibrant exploration of the elemental power of color in art. Liz Cole has created a  collection of paintings that invites viewers to experience the energy and intensity of red, yellow and blue, as  well as the rich nuances created when these colors are combined. The result is a body of narrative works  done in her signature style of acrylic and handmade collage. Liz is a storyteller with a paintbrush, who reaches back into memory moments and brings them into her  paintings. Known for her intense colors, she brings joy and energy to the whimsical narratives she paints.  Her paintings have layers of color and patterns of markings that invite the viewer into an imaginative world  of images. “I have always had a passion for color and construction since my early years of art making. Throughout my training as a painting major in college, I consistently found myself developing layered surfaces of color held  together through line work and rich, subtle patterns. You will never find empty spaces in my canvases. It’s as  if I need to give every inch of my painting a definitive response and a nod to its presence in my artwork.”
