 A Chattanooga native, Liz Lindstrom was born to be an
artist. She traded in a classroom
education to be skilled by her father, nationally acclaimed portrait artist
Bart Lindstrom, who began teaching her at an early age. Liz says “As a
child, I loved to go into my father’s studio for art lessons.
He would let me sit and watch while he worked on a painting or he would
give me projects to work on. It’s
amazing how much I was able to learn just by being around him.”

In high school, Liz Lindstrom began to explore her options
as a graduate. “Every school I
looked at and every program I researched did not offer me anything close to
what my father could give me. I
stayed in Chattanooga to apprentice under my dad, and God has used it to my
benefit more than I could have imagined.”
After three semesters of apprenticeship under her father, four months
in England, and abroad, Liz has found her niche in figurative art. “During
my time in Europe, I photographed more beautiful towns, rivers, and coastlines
than could be appreciated. However,
when I got back in the studio, the people I met along the way became the only
subject that I was interested in pursuing.
That’s when I realized in which direction I needed to take my art.”

 The inspiration for Liz’s work comes from her
passion for ballet, her awe of the human figure, and her great admiration of
Degas. Whether it’s in
portraiture or in her oeuvres of ballet, her goal is to capture a
moment in time that calls out to be recorded.
Liz says, “The amazing thing about being an artist is that I am able
to show others how I see the world, allowing them to see through my eyes. I want the viewer to be amazed at the beauty of ballet and
those with whom we are surrounded.

In autumn of 2002, Liz Lindstrom was awarded a
scholarship by Portrait Brokers of America to attend The Scottsdale
Artist’s School in Arizona. With
the knowledge gained from her father’s tutelage and her time in
Scottsdale, she plans to pursue an international art career based out of
Chattanooga and Scottsdale, Arizona.
Her work can be found in galleries and
homes from California to Cambridge, England; she continues to broaden her
horizons with each work sold.
