Acrylic is the focal point of my work. It allows me to use several layers. Using several layers of paint is a reflection of the several layers of emotions I have when painting. I paint to express myself, my emotions and what I care deeply about. I pour myself into my work to release my creativity. Abstract allows me to do all of this - yet leave something for the viewer to find for themselves and in themselves. Elizabeth Patton is a resident of Ft. Worth, Texas
