“Art is a language that everyone can understand, regardless of their background or beliefs. It has the power to bring people together.”

Mary Cassatt

Welcome to the vibrant world of pastel art, where light dances across the canvas, and every stroke tells a story. I am Elizabeth Norris Cutler, a pastel artist originally hailing from Eastern North Carolina and now calling the sunny shores of Tampa, Florida, my home.

Inspired by the timeless masterpieces of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, my work captures the essence of fleeting moments, infusing them with a sense of movement and luminosity. With each piece, I aim to transport viewers to a world where colors sing and emotions dance.

Through my exploration of painterly techniques, I strive to illuminate the beauty of everyday scenes, whether it's ponies galloping on the Carolina coast or the delicate peony on my kitchen table With delicate precision and bold expression, I seek to evoke a sense of wonder and nostalgia.

Join me on this journey of light and shadow, where every stroke is a celebration of life's moments, frozen in time for eternity. Thank you for visiting!
