Artist Statement

My drawings are derived from daydreams. They capture moments in nature that may otherwise go unseen. These moments create a portal to the unscathed forest where animals live to play and fight to survive. I am interested in the way they communicate with each other and the way they unfold the many layers of the earth around them. At night I am nose to nose with the beasts, unwinding their tales, walking their paths and imagining the things they say when I’m not around. I don’t know them, but they inspire me. Every delicate and whimsical line I make come together to create a textured story of their lives. I unfold stories of survival and transformation where dreams and reality lay side by side.

Bio

After studying communication design at Parsons School of Design in NYC, Elisabeth Timpone unexpectedly began an extensive endeavor into a world of fine art. Her whimsically obsessive lines, and delicate but ferocious images speak of growth, decay and the interconnectedness of all animals with nature. Since her start, she has shown at galleries in New York, California and Canada. Elisabeth is currently working on a letter pressed children’s book called “Baby Bestiary”.
