This potted pink princess philodendron grows on a cheerful canary yellow and pastel acid green dappled background. The drips, splatters and rich texture in Liz Haywood's fine art on canvas are created with layers of acrylic pen, latex and spray paint. When Liz is working on a botanical painting the process can take anywhere between four days to four months. Liz knows she is finished when she gets a special feeling that tells her to stop painting. As Liz is working she lets each layer dry individually, building layer upon layer of color and texture. If you live in the Charlotte area you can view this painting in person at The People's Market.

Liz graduated from Appalachian State University and then attended the Portfolio Center in Atlanta. She completed her studies winning several student awards. Liz was attracted to the professional challenge of working in New York. She worked primarily as a graphic artist in Manhattan for seven years. After attaining the position as head of graphic design for the popular shoe brand, Dolce Vita, she focused on establishing herself as an independent artist. Returning to the south, she developed a steady demand for her art through social media and local showings. In Atlanta, she painted several murals in public spaces to voice her social concerns. After relocating to Charlotte, Liz created a body of work for festivals and arts shows, including Bethesda Art Row and The Festival in The Park. She was awarded an Honorable Mention by SouthEnd Arts and the Brooklyn Collective in 2021. That year Liz was also accepted into a mural residency program by Brand the Moth, where she completed her capstone mural at Lenny Boy Brewing Company. Liz’s work is now being displayed nationwide after being juried into the ArtPop class of 2022.
