Elizabeth Sloas (1999, AR, United States) graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in painting and a minor in art history. She is a visual artist who works mainly in oil, with a focus on portraiture and landscape. Her works create compositions and settings that are poetic in nature. Her paintings are classified as extremely romantic and dramatic as the intense lighting created throughout her pieces enhances the form of the figures and setting. By applying poetic and often metaphorical symbolism, she creates dreamlike images in which fiction and reality can meet. Sloas is an emerging artist and states that the highlight of her career thus far was her time spent in Galway, Ireland at the Watershed Studios Artist Residency program. Sloas now lives and works in Jonesboro, AR as a local artist and hopes to delve even deeper into her artistic practice as she begins her creative career.
