Testimonials

Of E.L.Stewart…”No matter what the source for each painting’s subject, there is the same unifying vision of insight and compassion expressed throughout the works of this inspired artist.”- Northwest Woman Magazine

“E.L.Stewart’s work with the nude is provocative, and there is something very intriguing and mysterious in the things she does.”- Jochen Wierich, Ph.D., Curator of Art, Cheekwood Museum of Art, Nashville, TN

“Her paintings are very powerful... poetic, muscular and expressive." - Publisher UK

“E.L.Stewart’s paintings continue to amaze, and to explore social and sexual issues common to all of us.  Her work is gorgeously painted.  Her lush brushwork sometimes seduces us with it’s fluidity and bravado, and catches the viewer off-guard when we realize what may be actually going on in the social context of the painting.  Her works are stunning, and anyone interested in collecting relatively undiscovered art talent should begin to acquire her work NOW.” -Jerry Dodd - Professor of Art, Texas A&M University

"E.L.Stewart has a uniquely honest and arresting talent.  Beyond obvious technical expertise there is a great spontaneity and sense of storytelling in even the most abstract work."  -Michael Lasswell, Chicago College of Performing Arts, (Instructor of Theatre) Award winning Set Designer.

“E.L.’s work continues to immerse the viewer in sensual waves and delight the eye with lush coloration.  The questions brought up by the visual dialogue linger long after.  This is great work deserving of a larger audience”- Ken Yuhasz, Mixed Media Sculptor

 “Her paintings are quietly evocative and convey a strong sense of mood, a private moment–exposed.  E.L.Stewart’s experience shows” - Diane Mettler, Editor-Artisan Northwest Magazine

“As a collector and fan of E.L.Stewart for almost 10 years, I am consistently struck by her work.  Spend 30 seconds in her figurative world and you will find an immense and emotional purveyance into what it is to be alive (in relationships, on the earth, and in our own personal worlds which few people ever see).  Elsie continues to amaze me with each new work offered up for inspection and introspection…”- Brandon R., Director, Artistic Resources and Technology, Seattle, WA
