Eliza Mowery is an Indianapolis-based and Michigan-grown, landscape and lifestyle painter. Her work is marked by nostalgia and rest; creating an experience that reminds the viewer to breathe and observe what's good about the present moment. Her style is impressionistic with a hint of abstraction. She paints because it calms her busy mind and because painting communicates most clearly what she has to say. Eliza paints primarily with the medium of acrylic paint and enjoys bringing photographed moments back to life through her creative perspective. Much of the personal works and collections she creates are inspired by her childhood in rural West Michigan and summers spent near Lake Michigan. Moved by light and shadow, Eliza aspires to speak through her marks and colors in an effort to communicate the value of rest and beauty.

In 2021, Eliza was awarded a grant which helped in supporting her first year of pursuing art full-time. She is so thankful to the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts, for making 2022 possible.
