Campana Studios is excited to present ‘Feral’, an upcoming show of paintings by Elizabeth Brown at Perspectives Space, July 20th-August 1st, with an artist’s reception on July 20th from 6-9pm. Elizabeth Brown is a California based artist who explores the relationship between personal narrative and visual engagement. Her playful, expressive and colorful paintings reveal the tension between freedom and control, as well as thought and emotion, the physical and ephemeral. In these vibrant paintings, Elizabeth has multiple vantage points, seeing her world and the world of others, both predator and prey, to create dynamic compositions. Campana Studios is a San Diego based visual arts non-profit that creates dynamic platforms for artists to engage within our communities. Special thanks to the City of Encinitas, Department of Cultural Arts, and the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors for their financial support in bringing high quality, visual arts experiences, like this show, to our community.
