Award-winning artist Elizabeth Foley creates vibrant acrylic paintings that emerge from her journey through burnout and depression to rediscovering art as a lifeline. After years of abandoning creativity, she found herself deeply depressed. The moment she prioritized art again—despite every voice saying she lacked time, talent, or worth—everything changed.
Now Elizabeth creates to spark that same awakening in others. Her bold colors and empowering imagery carry unique “medicine,” encouraging viewers to stand in their power and embrace being fully seen.
Bring this creative medicine into your life with original paintings, handcrafted jewelry, prints, and more.
I begin each painting with an inquiry – a question, allowing intuitive choices to guide me without a predetermined design. When the piece is complete, I imagine giving her the pen—inviting her to share her wisdom. The poems featured here emerge from those conversations.
She Who Mixes Stardust
She is a great creator.
She harnesses the energy that creates worlds.
She walks the path of the muse allowing the sun to set on what is good
So that it may rise on what is great.
She abides in the essence of trust, willing to not know.
She crafts her sacred vessel with the seed of her soul.
In her sacred vessel
Pain becomes beauty,
Despair becomes hope.
She allows herself to expand with breath.
Breathing in she welcomes flow.
Breathing out she lets go of control.
Breathing in she welcomes ease.
Breathing out she releases worry.
She knows she can be soft and strong.
She is quiet and powerful.
As she pours from the cup of life,
She lets her whisper become a thousand roars.
Legacy Creator
The heart of a visionary is to see beyond oneself.
The path does not always go in a straight line,
Follow it regardless.
To be generous embrace boundaries.
To be receptive let your feminine lead.
To be luminous invite discipline.
The road to prosperity has many twists and turns,
Take it anyway.
Don't be afraid of darkness, it gives us a way to see the light.
Be bold.
Be daring.
Color outside the lines.
