Oh my god! You’ve only been doing this for two years? I love your watercolors on your woolgathering site, and I love this sketch (yes, cool shoes!). Wow. Impressive. I’ve got you bookmarked in both places.

And rivers and streams and cricks, Elizabeth. The spooky invisibility of Pittsburgh keeps it just right in size and attitude.

I’m very glad you are here, Elizabeth. It will be a pleasure to see your newest drawings and those from the past as well.

I am transplanted here.

Came to Pittsburgh for graduate school – 22 years ago – and apart from a year in Iowa, have been here ever since, watching it develop as an amazing unsung place. No ocean, but strong arts funding, interesting architecture, congenial creative people, offbeat neighborhoods, and VERY low cost of living.

You can get a sense of the place if you browse through the Pittsburgh group on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/pittsburgh/). I hope to reflect on that in my drawings over the coming year…

Are you from Pittsburgh originally?

I have worked with folks who grew up there. Pittsburgh people are a very particular sort of people.

I like the perspective in your drawing, since perspective is what it’s all about. I’m looking forward to seeing Pittsburgh through you in the coming weeks.
