My most recent body of work explores images of sunflowers in various states of growth and decay as a metaphor for mental illness. These painting, oil on canvas, range from 24”x 24” to 96”x 60.” All my work since 1997 has been a sustained inquiry into autobiographical themes, namely mental illness, memory, and family. Most work can be seen on my website, Instagram, and Facebook accounts.
Elizabeth Castiglione lives and works in Bucks County with her family at George School, a Quaker boarding and day school for teenagers. She received her BA from Yale University and her MFA from the University of Washington, Seattle. She has taught people of most ages, and is currently considering the possibility of pursuing a Masters degree in Art Therapy.
