I’m Liz Burnet, a 23-year-old emerging artist from Amelia Island, Florida. From a young age, I’ve always been captivated by creating—whether it was leaving colorful paint marks on my parents’ walls during craft sessions or turning everyday moments into little works of art. My creativity has always found a way to shine through, leading me to become a painter.

My work is multifaceted, but I feel especially connected to my abstract pieces, which explore the complexity of emotion and individuality. Each layer in my work tells its own story: vibrant colors clash and converge, bold strokes compete with soft washes, and structured shapes push against the boundaries of organic movement. The final piece becomes a visual narrative, inviting the viewer to uncover a sense of self amidst the chaos.

My artistic process often combines acrylic paints, oil sticks, pastels, and charcoal, reflecting my experimental and tactile approach. I take pride in being self-taught, appreciating the freedom it gives me to explore and experiment with art on my own terms.

After earning my bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Mississippi, I made my way to downtown Charleston, South Carolina, where I’m lucky enough to spend my days doing what I love as a full-time artist.
