Artist Comments
A traditional farmhouse and its outbuildings nestle beneath eucalyptus trees. Soft afternoon light casts a warm, nostalgic glow across the scene. The Topa Topa mountain range rises in the distance, framed by the lush greenery.

About the Artist
Artist Elizabeth Garat paints impressionist landscapes, seascapes, and scenes from her travels that reflect her deep connection to the natural world. “Exposure to nature early on planted the seed of landscape painting in me,” says Elizabeth. Raised between California and Colorado, she spent her formative years outdoors—exploring her grandfather’s sheep ranch, walking beaches with her grandmother, and discovering California Impressionism in the galleries of Laguna Beach. She later studied with noted photographer MacDuff Everton at UC Santa Barbara and trained in plein air painting with Maddine Insalaco and Joe Vinson in Italy. Elizabeth works from a bright studio converted from her home’s detached garage, complete with barn wood walls, a skylight, and a Dutch door that opens to the breeze. When she’s not painting, she enjoys watching great films, hiking, and tending her garden.
