Elizabeth Endres is a painter currently living and working in Princeton, New Jersey. In 2019 she received a Certificate from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and a Bachelors Endres often paints from memory and imagination; a cache that grows by observations from books and the home and natural world. She finds inspiration in the things collected or accumulated, that scatter across the table, and tell of a season or moment. From heirlooms to everyday, familiar objects. Fruits sliced and whole. Nature’s curiosities gathered from a walk. Leafy stems, reaching branches, petals tumbling over. The strange and wonderful beauty of flora can inspire the direction of a painting. If not merely suggested by the objects assembled, a figure or two might sit in a painting. Usually partly concealed or obscured. Seemingly, quietly, pondering some thought. Four-legged creatures frequently wander into paintings as well.
