About

Liza Dent is a painter and printmaker living and working in Richmond, Virginia. She earned her BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts, majoring in Painting and Printmaking and minoring in Gender and Women’s Studies. Her practice is inspired by flora & fauna, and leaves space for the materials to create unexpected outcomes on the canvas. Dent’s work explores natural phenomena and repitition, and ranges in media from classical oil paints to colored pencil and mixed media. 

  •             “I create technicolor paintings inspired by nature and our connection to it as humans. Through the act of creating my predominantly abstract works, I am able to experience a sort of meditative connection between my mind and the world around me. The result is a body of work which allows the viewer to participate in a similar meditation as they become immersed in the colors and flowing patterns in the space.”
