LIZ AUKAMP LAGARDE [BFA Interior Architecture, 2001/02]

Based in Riverdale Park, MD

Liz Aukamp LaGarde is a mixed media artist primarily working in acrylic with a mixture of graphite, caran d’ache, and paper. All of these various media are layered on a substrate of watercolor paper, stretched canvas, or wood panel in a variety of sizes from 6 x 6 inches up to 60 x 40 inches. She approaches each new piece by trying to “solve the problem” of the painting while allowing her subconscious the freedom to bubble up and be known. She enjoys the opportunity to play with line, shape, layers, and especially color that each new work provides.
