The original artwork of Elizabeth Waitekus

Homepage          Artist Statement           Biography
   

As an artist, I have always been stirred by “Religious Art” and the multi-layered truth and symbolism found there. I have often wondered why contemporary artist don’t draw their ideas and inspiration from a place of personal “Revelations and Answers” rather than portraying so much angst and confusion.

In portraying the Holy Mother, Angels, Goddesses, and Nature I am affirming the unseen beings and energies of hope, faith, guidance, and protection. They are encompassed in the “Divine Feminine” or the “Feminine face of God.” I believe the divine feminine represents what is needed in these turbulent times; the influence of more nurturance, mercy and compassion. We are our brother’s keeper, and the only way to know each other better is through compassionate thoughts and merciful actions. My hope is for all humanity to acknowledge that we are one family.

I am inspired by the beauty and mystery of the spiritual realms as well as nature, and committed to the expression of beauty through my art works. Because my art brings me so much pleasure, passion and joy while creating, I hope this will be invoked in the viewer.
