Elizabeth Hazan is a New York based visual artist. Her imaginary landscape paintings mix gestural topography with elements of modernist abstraction. The work depicts a version of nature off-kilter, evoking a charged atmosphere, familiar to the viewer yet verging on the surreal.
Hazan was born and raised in New York City and attended Bryn Mawr College and the New York Studio School. She was awarded a fellowship to the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, has twice been a resident of Yaddo, and received a grant from the Peter S. Reed Foundation.
