hello,

A little about me and the work I do. Just a sample, because creativity flows into every aspect of life.

I’m, LizBeth Ogiela-Scheck. I primarily create artwork in ink, oil, and acrylic that reflect my visions of the internal world interacting with the external. That being said, it is the creative idea that actually guides me to the decisions of materials & mediums to use. It would not be unusual for me to be venturing into sculpture. “My paintings are meant to be felt with the eyes, seen with the heart, and touched by the soul.” These paintings often are contemplations on nature and dream reflections interpreted through vibrant, high contrasting, colors and organic shapes in order to evoke a reaction and dialog.

One of my first memories is drawing on the walls of the bedroom, growing up in a large Chicago-Polish family. However, formal art education would only start in HS. After which I moved to Central IL to attend attend Illinois State University and received a BS in Education, majoring in Jr High/ MS Education with specializations in Fine Art, Science, and Social Studies. After teaching school & working in the youth development field, fitting art in wherever I could, I refocused my attentions to the fine arts in community and exhibiting my art in shows through the midwest. My work is in private collections in the United States. I now reside in New Mexico where I continue to work in my home studio and looking forward to participating with the creative communities of the southwest.
