Artist Liz Neumann
Foxberry
First Friday at Artworks Around Town welcomes Liz Neumann to the Studio Gallery at 2200 Market Street in Historic Wheeling’s Centre Market. The opening reception will run from 5 to 8 PM this Friday, February 7th. The public is invited and light refreshments will be served. The gallery show artist will be present as will many of the Artworks artists. Liz Neumann discovered her love of art at an early age. At 10 years old, her talents were rewarded as the Girl Scouts commissioned her to create artwork for a calendar. Decades later, she still accepts commissions and fashions her own creations, working primarily in acrylics with palette knives and fiber brushes.
A Wheeling native, Liz gives much credit to Oglebay Institute for developing her talent. Years of taking classes from local and traveling artists have given her an opportunity to explore all mediums and feel comfortable with her techniques and abilities.
