OUR STORY

Wellington based artist Elisabeth Arko has been honing her contemporary realism oil painting skills for the past several years. Originally from San Diego, she attended the University of Souther California School of Architecture and then proceeded to have a rewarding career in motion picture animation and visual effects. Her lifelong love of photography, all things aquatic, the great outdoors and filmmaking inform every image she evolves.

Her experience in design and film allows her to compose elements of motion and theatrical lighting to create luminous representation of her subject matter.

Beth's pieces are held in private collections in New Zealand and the United States.
