Instructor: Liz Morton
Paint… Paint… Paint… Oh how I love to paint!   I love color and that irrational moment when I make the first mark.
Award-Winning Artist and Eastern North Carolina native, Liz studied art at Appalachian State University (Boone and NYC), Barton College (Double Major: Printmaking & Commercial Art), The University of NC at Greensboro (MFA/Painting), and Ghost Ranch, NM (Intuitive Painting).

Active in the Metropolitan DC area art scene for twenty years, she is now home in her beloved coastal NC.
A creative and engaging teacher, Liz has taught art in the public school system along with private lessons, studio sessions, and workshops in the Metropolitan DC area.
