Liz Quisgard
Reminiscent of Byzantine mosaics, artist Liz Whitney Quisgard utilizes an exuberant palette to produce her intricate geometric patterns comprised of marks, or dots, placed in a mesmerizing array of triangles, spirals, lines, and circles. Sumptuous colors and rich patterns create a scintillating rhythm and texture across her paintings and fiber works. Other influences include Navajo textiles, Baroque architectural details, and Oriental rugs.
“My goal is to surprise and engage the mind by seducing the eye,” says Quisgard. “Toward that end I rely on pattern. We all understand a row of triangles, a strip of squares, an arrangement of circles and swirls. No need to ask their meaning. They simply are what they are. They speak to us universally and without apology.”
An award-winning, nationally renowned artist, Liz Whitney Quisgard lives and works in New York City. Among her numerous grants and awards, she received the prestigious Pollack-Krasner Foundation Grant in 2001, and has been chosen for residencies at the Millay Colony and the Yaddo Colony, among others.
Quisgard, originally from Philadelphia, graduated from the Maryland Institute’s College of Art, earned her MFA at the Maryland Institute Rinehart School of Sculpture, and attended the Maryland Institute School of Architectural Design and Drafting. She has taught at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Goucher College, and the University of Maryland.
Liz Whitney Quisgard has had solo exhibitions of her work at numerous museums and galleries including the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Nashville, Tennessee; the Phillips Art Museum, Franklin Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Mahattanville College, Purchase, New York; the Department of Cultural Affairs, City Hall Gallery, Charleston, South Carolina; the Gilchrist Museum, Cumberland, Maryland; the Shakolsky Foundation, Jim Thorp, Pennsylvania; Loveland Museum, Colorado; Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Kentucky; Visual Arts Association, Louisville, Kentucky; the Curtis Gallery, New Canaan, Connecticut; the Gibson Gallery, Art Museum of the State University of New York at Potsdam; the Flaten Art Museum, St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota; Union Theological Seminary, New York, New York, and many more.
