Annual Commemorative Artwork
Meet the Artist... Elizabeth Phelps
I first heard about NCFH when I was in the field of public health, working with teenagers using theater as a means of discussing health issues. One of my favorite projects at that time was with a local farm worker community. I then earned my teaching certificate and taught art and ELL at the high school level. Next, I shifted to my favorite project of all: raising my twin sons.
All through my life, I've loved to paint. I've continued to find ways to indulge this passion - whether it be a quick study from life or a larger mural project. Now that my sons are in college, for the first time in my life, I am able to paint full time. I've had the fortune of being able to study with masters such as Susan Lyon and Michelle Dunaway. I am particularly interested in artwork that addresses social issues, and I'm thrilled to be able to support the wonderful work that NCFH does.
