Why do you paint?
For exactly the same reason I breathe.
That’s not an answer.
There isn’t any answer.
How long hasn’t there been any answer?
As long as I can remember.
And how long have you written?
As long as I can remember.
I mean poetry.
So do I.

    "Liz is an amazing photographer and an amazing woman! I am always captivated by her way to see and think about the world in her photography and accompanying words. Sometimes it is like she is showing me new horizons and sometimes I think we see exactly see same one. I am happy that she is here in flickr land where is no “abroad”!"

    "Liz's work is... peaceful. Looking at her photos brings this wonderful sense of calm to me. It's like being in a crowded room with earplugs on. No sound to distract you from the people, from the real feeling of it all.

    Full of depth. Engaging everytime."

    "Liz is a talented, generous and incredibly funny person.
    She litteraly cracks me up with the descriptions, comments and tags that surround her pictures.
    The way she shares her life with us visitors (or witnesses) on a daily basis is just charming, and it's always with a lot of pleasure that I wander through her photostream. She's got a real gift to capture the emotions of the people around her.
    Keep up the good work Liz and see you around !"

    "Liz's photography is saturated with emotion...her photos stain your soul. The phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words" was written by someone who must have viewed her portraits. Her series, Brick Wall, is brilliant - I visit it often. Liz is, among other things, an inspiration and a salve - moods are lifted, spirits lightened, hearts healed, smiles formed by her creativity and passion. Thank you, Liz!"

    "Everytime I visit the photostream of Girlabroad, I am constantly peeling away the layers that conceal such rapid progression. In fact, it's very hard to keep track of the levels of talent that reveal themselves daily.
    The first to claim that her photography has evolved from a hobby into a passion, Liz has undeniably unleashed upon us a kind that is testimony only of a true artist who's been brewing in the shadows for some time - and is now ready for those of us who have finally caught up..."

    "Best I can tell, Liz and I live parallel lives. Our kids are the same genders and ages, we got involved in Flickr around the same time, and we've gravitated to some of the same flickr groups. It's just freaky, really. =D

    I've loved her work from the moment I saw her "Bored" photo, and I greatly appreciate her honesty, spritely spirit and cheeky sense of humor. She has a passion and eye for photography that I know will translate well into her budding photographic career. Go Liz!"

    "Liz is not from around here, whereever that would be to you. She's a poorly disguised ghostly sylphide that has no analouge in this unfortunate world.

    She wears special googles that can see under the currents and right through the most grey fog. If you're not careful, she'll look right inside of you and find all kinds of wonders you never knew were there, and hand them to you like a book of poetry."
