Flagstaff, AZ- The Flagstaff Area National Monuments will be hosting recent Grand Canyon Artist-in-Residence painter Elisabeth Condon(http://elisabethcondon.com/images/) from Tampa, Florida, July 21st - July 30th, 2013.

While in-residence Elisabeth will conduct an informal, drop-by, plein air session for the general public on the Wupatki Pueblo Trail. Visitors are encouraged to come see her work, ask questions, and learn about her time spent at Wupatki. The drop-by session will be held Saturday, July 27th between 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Elisabeth's work follows the T'ang Dynasty precept that landscape can be expressed through a studio art that synthesizes experiences and memory. Landscapes are neither fixed nor unchanging; territories, borders and cultures are constantly redefined. Elisabeth's paintings explore the evolution of changing natural, cultural and human-made landscapes over time. She spends hours in quiet observation with the goal of understanding places as they are revealed to her through hiking, exploring and sketching, which leads to finished studio paintings as she gets to know a new landscape. Elisabeth's process of gradually knowing a landscape and the people who inhabit it both historically and now helps her expand art beyond the purely visual and into expressing a deeper understanding of place.
