Art talk #art My first talk about the new work. A fun night.

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Feeling the weight of this day. Remembering where I was. How I felt. I am working today. Trying to fill my space with space. ETHER: two finished paintings. #art #painting

Getting closer: Wired all of the pieces for this show today. There will be an artist talk, and although I’ve given many talks, this will be the first for the series Ethos. I never write it down, but let it roll around in my head until it’s time to speak. So far so good. #art #painting

Food politics. Being more self sufficient. We took steps this year to get back to old habits. Growing most of our own food. I rarely if ever have processed food. Everything is made from scratch, minus an occasional cracker, box of plant milk, or slice of vegan pizza. #vegan #plantbased #slowfood

A day in the life. Work, garden, bread.

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Took the whole weekend off. Already stretched most of the paintings for my Sept show, so not feeling so stressed.

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Started stretching the paintings today. ETHOS: MONARCH Mixed media 36x36. #art #painting

Aside from a studio run today, I made pickled veg. Garden squash medley and garlic and basil cherry tomatoes. This will be my salad sides for the week along with a loaf of fresh crusty bread, avocado, a batch of hummus and potato salad. Summer eats.

Mamma and the girls, so sweet. We lost our mamma but still have our warrior grrl.

It is pouring rain here at the studio, there’s a big ugly cybertruck front and center in the parking lot and I am painting about peaceful revolution, abundance and awakening. More from the new ETHOS SERIES. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

New work: ETHOS: 60x54 unstretched. A back to the future project that has me revisiting an earlier vibe. #art #painting

Bought my veg at the farm market over the weekend. So far so good. Until my next crop of greens come in all purchases will be from small local growers. Also upping my kitchen sprout growing operation. Photo. Our greenhouse being built onto the back of my old studio. Not messing around. #veggies

CHANNELING HAPPINESS. Finished. 40x60 unstretched. Mixed media, collage. The last piece on the wall. Starting new things. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

PASS IT ON: nailed this back to the wall today and finished it. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Elegy For Everything. Another finished painting. 30x42. Mixed media, collage. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

When The World Is Perfect. New canvases in the works. Two shows coming up in the fall, just now wrapping my head around some of the small pieces. This one 40x30 unstretched. #art #painting

There is no greater propaganda machine than the US food industry. Health organizations funded by the very industries that cause the diseases that these same organizations claim to be combating. This all under the umbrella of the USDA and government agencies. Rewatched this gem today. Worth a look.

Attended an opening reception last night. A nice surprise, two of my graffiti paintings are hanging in the downstairs lobby. Beacon Free and Sleepwalker. #art #abstractart

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Having future shows in my periphery I have been working out a few somewhat cohesive thought lines. Finished this yesterday. COGNITO. Mixed media collage. 44x72. Not usually a fan of the horizontal. But it is what it is. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

These canvases have been stapled to the wall for a few days. Small studies. Oil, ink and graphite on canvas. CITADEL. The human type. We are our own last refuge, or own stronghold. Human citadels. Autonomous and legion all at the same time. We just need to own it. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

Once the paint comes out it’s hard to capture the texture with a picture. These are some small pieces with the first pass of texture, collaged fabric and paper. Before the sander comes out. A good two days to dry completely. #art #painting

020

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Finally got my groove back. New work in the house. Firefly. VERITAS LOQUITUR, new series. The truth speaks for itself. 44x32. Small paintings like this are on stretched canvas with a textured ground. #art #painting

This is Beanie The Magic Cat, he was my sweet special boy.

060

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

This is Henry. He built himself a tent out of packing paper. He guarded it with his life. Also, I don’t think you can own a cat, they are the boss, always.

I was skeptical about a prequel to Mystery Road. The original show and the films with Aaron Pedersen were good. I can now say that the first season of MR Origin was as good as the first season of Mystery Road.

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

It’s #caturday and here’s a snapshot of Ruben with his arm around his sister Lil’ P. This is a rare, likely one time only event that needed documentation. Lil’P does not like to share her space.

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

I staple the raw canvas to the wall and prime them before painting. Paint never cracks. If it did it (oil) would be due to applying thinned out paint over heavy paint that hasn’t dried. Something that can happen whether it’s been stretched or not.

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

I’ve been going through my inventory of finished works. Today I repainted this entire canvas. Using none of the under painting, which is rare for me. Oil on canvas 54x54 #art #painting

030

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Dropped this off at the gallery two weeks ago and they sold it on Monday. Breakers. 36x44 oil on canvas. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Another panting in the loosely titled Tether Series. As yet unstretched. The work continues. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Finally got back to This series I started last month. Small pieces so far, studies. But going big today. #art #painting abstraction, figurative.

Working on a few quickies. Impromptu oil on panel 12x12 each. A fun way to get out of my head and use up some of the boards I have stored away. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

When my paint wall in the studio was new. Early days. 2019. #art

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

Starting some new paintings in gray tones so, revisiting images of some older works. From around 2012 thru 2018. Oil and cold wax. #art This piece 20x20 if I remember correctly.

081

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

One of the mostly finished paintings. Oil on canvas. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Day three on these paintings. Building thin layers. Oil on canvas. All need an extra day of dry time. #art #painting

030

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Such a nice day. Windows open, fresh paint in the air. Wearing all the hats. #art #painting Stretching these guys from last year. We must not lose hope. The most powerful thing is to be who we are and do what we do. Be resilient, be kind and be ferocious for peace, justice and love.

Back at the vets again with Jaco today. Still there. Urinary blockage. Spasms not crystals. A couple of possible solutions. One is medication the other is surgery. They will likely keep him over the weekend. Nothing worse than a sick fur baby. #cats

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

I’ve started working on some textured minimalist pieces. This, Fountain of Youth, is one of the last pieces I painted before diving into my Animal Farm series of graffiti style collages. Size 69x60. #art #painting

0100

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

No Mas: from late 2024. 64x72 collage, mixed media. The feeling has not changed. #art #painting

0121

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Furries are a way of life around here. Had an emergency with Jaco, so everything got turned around. When people ask why there are so many figures, particularly animals in my work. We live the walk. Rescues and strays are welcome here. #cats #art

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

New work: small stuff. Feels good to be in the studio. Sun is shining and the snow is melting. Yay! How about that Bad Bunny, rocking the family, people, love your neighbor vibe. Everybody counts! That’s the news folks, let’s roll with it. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

It’s #caturday and we lost our oldest. Miss Phoebe was seventeen. A sweet girl and the last of a litter we rescued with their momma as newborns. It is true that time goes faster as we age. Seventeen years is a blip. A life is a blip. As Ram Dass said: we are all just walking each other home.

050

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

I went to the studio today. It took a lot to get me out in the cold. Finished one of the paintings on the wall. Calling it Pterodactyl. A flesh eating dinosaur that flies. A reminder that monsters (even the modern day types) die. Chaos does not have to be our legacy. #art #painting

040

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

To the cold snowy earth. You win. Tomorrow I will bundle up and go to the studio. View from the porch on the first snow day.

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Finished two paintings today. Back in my zone. Hot Pink Pumps I & II. Collage, mixed media, 42x56. #art #painting

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

This is Lil’P and Phoebe. Lil’P is a bully. She is jealous of Phoebe and doesn’t like to share. They are sleeping in my lap. I am the voice of reason. No fighting on my watch. #caturday Fighting is bad.

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

I now have two walls filled with these roadmap/landscape-ish canvases. Maybe a subconscious nod to the Fauves. The intention was to navigate away from the animal shapes to a more non objective frame. This piece is smaller 36x44. Oil. I like it enough to continue with this palette. For now. #art

071

paintergrrl @thepaintergrrl.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

The wall. Where 2026 begins. A few smaller paintings. A less hectic pace to start. #art #painting Since I don’t drink and party life is not my thing. I will be working today as usual. It’s my happy place. Bet I have the entire building to myself.

Abstract paintings in progress. Liz Zorn Art
