Influenced
by a Roman Catholic upbringing, punk rock, Erte and Edward
Gorey, Hollywood native Elizabeth McGrath is one of her
generations more unique and prolific artists.
She creates
in a number of mediums and materials with undeniable
artistry and imagination.
Her
paintings are haunted whispers of color, depicting subtly
dangerous creatures that creep toward the edge of the
canvas.
Her stitched
and bandaged dolls and toys are a united army of soft
strangeness, and her mixed media dioramas are isolated freak
shows displaying rotting, subhuman figures luxuriously
dressed for your pleasure or contempt.
