Elizabeth Weiss Nook is an artist and architect, and has been a creative within the natural world in the forms of fine arts, design, and architecture for as long as she can remember. Taking inspiration from nature and her own sense of adventure, she is passionate about ecological conservation, design and construction, finding the beauty in difficult circumstances, and celebrating the light that inevitably shines after the storm passes. She is also a wife, mom to two little ones, and a boat captain.
Driven by a desire to understand the world through fantastical interpretations, my art captures fleeting moments and the tension between presence and absence. Expressed through bold color and subtle expressions, my oil paintings depict Neoclassical, Hellenistic and contemporary figures suspended between eras, reflecting society’s attraction to escapism and idealized fantasy.
Resumed painting again in 2019 after decades working as a journalist and musician. I paint in the folk art style and have exhibited at many events in Md & Va. My work has been selected for five juried shows at Ann Marie Garden Art Center in Solomons, Md. I formed The Grim Pickers bluegrass band in 1975 which played often in Md, DC and Va including performances at the Birchmere, Red Fox and King of France Tavern.
