About the artist
Liz Scotta is a teacher, an illustrator, an urban sketcher, a collage artist and a watercolor painter. The first half of her life was spent in Connecticut, Mexico, and New York City. When she’s not traveling and sketching, she resides in San Francisco. She is the author of My Sketchbook of San Miguel de Allende and Travels With a Sketchbook. Although you can count where Liz has lived on one hand: Connecticut, Mexico; New York City, and San Francisco; as an Urban Sketcher she has traveled and drawn from Marrakesh to Mumbai, Paris to Philadelphia , San Francisco to San Miguel de Allende, New York City to York, England, and Boston to Budapest. Liz is an American visual artist well recognized for her realistically rendered urban scenes. En Plein air, she sketches people in urban settings from life. In a world where quick selfies and iPHONE images rule, she wants her illustrations to call attention to minute details that the observer frequently overlooks. She does not erase. She draws using ink vs. pencil and sometimes she adds watercolors to her illustrations. Liz engages in conversation with the people she draws to put them at ease and she allows them to take photos of her signed images and invites them to follow her. She is most proud to have exhibited her work at the de Young Open 2020 Show. Her education includes a BA in Art History, MA in Education and many City College San Francisco art classes along with Suhita Shirodkar and Zainab Tambawala’s workshop in Mumbai, and Tom Hoffmann Watercolor classes in San Francisco, Oaxaca, and Walla Walla, WA.
