Elizabeth (formely painted under the name
of Pruitt) was raised in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. As a child,
her Grandmother's would help her identify various wild flowers at
their cabin above Oakley, Utah. This is where her love of flowers
began. "I still have the book where I pressed and catagorized wild
flowers that my paternal Grandmother helped me with." She began
painting in her early 20's but soon children became her priority and
her love of painting was an occasional hobby. As the children grew,
so did her desire to expand on her art. She now enjoys the freedom
to devote full time to her art. Her work is in private collections
throughout the United States and in the Ella Dunnegan Museum in
Bolivar, MO. Publications & Industry Associations:
She is a Signature Member of "Oil Painters of America" Signature
