VIEW IN MY ROOM

This painting is the view from the window of my first home in Måløy, Norway. I had a large studio full of natural light, with a gorgeous view facing the opening of the fjord into the North Sea. I began this painting without knowing what it would be -- as I do with nearly all my abstract works -- and hit a nice creative flow. I realized partway through that I was painting the scene from my window. Where I live in Norway (a different house now, with an equally gorgeous view in the opposite direction) I am surrounded by visual nourishment. Beautiful does not seem adequate to describe this country. Coming from living for decades in the concrete jungle, I am drinking in every sight and relishing the sounds of nature: seagulls, the fjord lapping against the rocks below our veranda, otters squeaking as they teach their young to swim.

Elizabeth Olderøy is a self-taught artist, writer, singer and performer originally from the U.S. In 2020, she married her Viking husband and left the city of Chicago behind to move to the majestic west coast of Norway. Over the years, Elizabeth dabbled in becoming a professional singer, wrote a dozen songs and an award-winning screenplay and tried her hand at visual arts, but her creative career never got off the ground, mainly due to an unwillingness to pick "just one" creative outlet to pursue, and persistent fears that grew stronger as the decades went by. However, the longing for an artistic life path never went away, and at times came on so intensely, she felt as if her soul was dying. Finally, in 2017, at age 50, Elizabeth began her life as a visual artist in earnest. She experimented with watercolors, acrylics and drawing. Within months, she sold her first painting, for a respectable $1200. She took it as a sign to keep going. Along the way, a friend introduced her to Oil & Cold Wax Medium, and she was hooked. While she makes a wide variety of art and crafts, Elizabeth considers Cold Wax & Oil her favorite painting medium due to its incredible versatility. (But really, for Elizabeth, making any art and crafts it's all about creative nourishment, self-expression and having FUN.)
