Elisabeth Geel was born in the Netherlands and has lived for over thirty years in Italy. She is both a visual and a musical artist, and is self-taught in both disciplines. She started her art career as a graphic designer and illustrator for children’s educational books and advertising. Today she specializes in fine art oil painting, watercolor, and mixed media, and is strongly influenced by Surrealism. Music is a recurring motive in her work, which vibrates with color, humor, and subtle provocations. Elisabeth lives and works in Tucson, Arizona, and exhibits her work regularly at the Contreras Gallery, the Untitled Gallery, at Wilhelm Family Vineyards, and at the Sedona Arts Center.
