Elizabeth Ricketson - A graduate of Providence College with a BA in English, Elizabeth Ricketson has always had a love of literature and the fine arts. In the 1990s, Elizabeth studied figure drawing at the Rhode Island School of Design with acclaimed artist Robin Wiseman. Her work at RISD inevitably led her to focus on portrait painting. Creating portraiture that expresses the subject’s essence is her greatest challenge and purest desire. Painting and the exploration of color have become her passion.
