Come and enjoy the magical and whimsical work of Elisabeth on Earth, Elisabeth Ladwig. She is an award winning artist living in the Hudson Valley. Her artistic career began as a graphic artist in the New York City music industry, which presented the opportunity for her to create designs for recording artists like Liza Minnelli, Barry Manilow, Patrick Stewart: for Broadway shows, and for major motion pictures. 

She loved the process of combining all the pieces of the puzzle — graphic elements, typography, and photographs, balancing colorspace and contrast, and presenting them in a single, cohesively designed package. Similarly, experimenting with collage art was an unsurprising source of enjoyment, when from this a much larger branch grew in the form of using her own photographs.

Elisabeth’s process is variable and spiritually instinctive; often, an image is well on its way or completed before she fully understands its message, and that meaning may vary from one viewing to the next.  All of her scenes have a strong natural connection, set completely or partially outdoors, often with an anonymous subject.  

Her work has appeared in venues from Scottsdale to Rome, on magazine covers, and as digital displays in Times Square, and at the Louvre.

She will be at Black River Gallery, for a Meet and Greet, on Saturday, June 28, 2-4 p.m.  

Black River Gallery is at 16 McKown St., Boothbay Harbor. For more information: (207) 315-6522 and https://blackrivergallery.com/
