Colorscapes: The Art of Elizabeth Payne
…to connect with the world, that’s the whole point for me – to be connected. Painting is my way of connecting with a world that is both strange and familiar. – Elizabeth Payne
on display at the Neill-Cochran House mUseum
September 17, 2025 - January 11, 2026
The Neill-Cochran House Museum is pleased to present Colorscapes: The Art of Elizabeth Payne. The exhibition brings together over thirty paintings, landscapes from Payne’s life in California and Texas .
Ms. Payne’s work has a fauvist quality that encourages the viewer to consider the essential nature of the landscapes that surround us and to look beyond the surface to the physical structure of space as well as the emotional connections we make to place and to people.
Payne has written: “People are not seeing everything they’ve seen a million times before. The only way to make a new experience is to alter it somehow.”
Explore Colorscapes: The Art of Elizabeth Payne at the Neill-Cochran House Museum from September 17, 2025 through January 11, 2026.
