Elizabeth Barnes is a painter, printmaker and educator living in Vancouver, British Columbia. Her work can be found in various collections throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

Barnes makes work that has evolved over the years via her investigation into the processes of nature, the nature of beauty, and the rich history of visual representation.

Her work begins at the place where aesthetics, science, mathematics, and technology meet. While giving modernism its due, the work also embraces references to the evolution of abstraction, and its place within post-modern aesthetics.
