Elizabeth Traina is a visual artist based in New York. Her work explores the intersection of modernism and metaphysics, influenced by a small yet rich lineage of spiritually oriented geometry patterns created by women. Her work is intended to be used as a visual impulse for meditation.
Elizabeth's compositions are made of intricately layered transparent forms, suggesting luminescent multi-dimensional movement. She creates botanical works as studies of the wonderment of the natural world. Her current work investigates the juxtaposition of ancient antiquity sculptures in a field of geometry and light—illustrating a transcendental emotive play of the human experience.
In addition to her studio practice, she contributes to the intersection of art within social equity and justice movements. Early in her career, she helped to create youth art programs in Oakland, San Francisco, New Orleans, and Brooklyn. She is passionate about the uplifting effects of public art and utilizes her skills as a muralist to beautify spaces with beloved community joy.
Beginning in 2012, she expanded her education with training in Energy Medicine and Transpersonal Hypnotherapy. It was then she designed the Art & Consciousness Curriculum, an innovative hands-on workshop series that utilizes art as a means for personal development. She has been pleased to share her methods via sessions, seminars, and workshops locally and abroad.
Currently, Elizabeth resides in Brooklyn, NYC, where she paints in her studio and enjoys time in nature, music, dancing, and creating beautiful experiences with friends and family in a vibration of love.
