artist Statement

Liz Kalloch is an abstract multi-media artist, currently working in charcoal and pastel. She has exhibited throughout the United States and in Europe and her work is in both private and public collections. Her first public work of art was created in 2023 for the Here is Magic mural at Waterfall Arts in Belfast, Maine.

My work, improvisational in nature, nearly always begins with a line, and then another; some lines intersect, others follow each other, and still others move along on their own singular course and destination. I imagine that these lines are maps of my own journeys, that they are reporting back from the places I’ve been, the transitions I’ve experienced, the external worlds that I’ve seen and the internal ones I’ve created—and how I’ve observed them all.
