Elizabeth Enders
Betty Cuningham Gallery is pleased to open Waterlines, an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Elizabeth Enders. This will be the artist’s second exhibition with the Gallery. The artist will be present for an opening reception on Thursday, June 21st from 6 – 8PM.
While the early work of Enders was primarily a personal, visual diary, the current work, featured in Waterlines, moves beyond into the far reaches of her imagination. Boats sail across the seas, through darkness and light, by forts and rising mounds, a journey that parallels the trip that Enders takes with the brush. The exhibition includes 10 paintings and a complement of watercolors. It will remain on view through Friday, August 3.
Elizabeth Enders was born in 1939 in New London, CT. In 1962, she graduated with a B.A. from Connecticut College and in 1987 she received her M.A. from New York University.
