Elizabeth Stone paints at her home studio in Florence, Massachusetts. She began painting in 1997 and has educated herself by taking workshops with contemporary portrait masters Daniel Greene, Everett Kinstler, Burt Silverman, Tony Ryder and David Leffel. She works in oils, pastels, and charcoal. Elizabeth enjoys getting to know her portrait subjects while painting them from life and her work is said to convey "emotional resonance beyond surface detail".
Elizabeth's work has been shown in galleries and juried shows in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York City and New Orleans and hangs in private collections in the eastern U.S.A. She is a member of the Portrait Society of America (www.portraitsociety.org), the Connecticut Portrait Society (http://www.csopa.org), the Connecticut Pastel Society (www.ctpastelsociety.com), and the Academic Artists Association.
