Elizabeth Barenis

Born and raised in Greenville, Mississippi, Elizabeth has been painting since childhood. A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College (NY), Elizabeth was named a 2023 Creative Pinellas Professional Artist grantee as well as a 2018 participant in the International Painting Symposium at the Mark Rothko Art Center in Daugavpils, Latvia. With an exhibition history spanning 20 years, her work has been collected nationally and internationally.

Elizabeth’s distinctive “Abstract Precisionism” style takes inspiration from her photography and employs gently-abstracted shapes and colors intended to recreate a moment of tranquility and an experience of beauty.

Elizabeth’s contribution to the public art scene of Tampa Bay include a mural for the Parks and Recreation building in Dunedin, signal box designs in Clearwater, and a mural on the ambulance bay of Bayfront Hospital in St. Pete.
She currently lives and works in St. Petersburg, Florida.
