About the Artist Elizabeth Marshall defines her art as “who I AM, not what I do…” Art is Elizabeth’s peace, her passion and her Zen; her studio: her sanctuary.

As she began to win awards for her watercolor paintings: Best in Show at the Washington State Fair, and Best in Show at the Carnegie Center for the Arts, both in Walla Walla, she was grasped by the excitement of being recognized.
