Liz Hovley - Fine Artist , Entrepreneur
I am the descendent of pioneers - hearts brimming with hope, their colorful quilts carried their love of art across the plains. My art celebrates the wonder and majesty of the American West.
Salt Lake City, Utah-based painter Liz Hovley has been honing her painting skills since she was a child. Her artistic evolution has allowed her to explore the union between realism, abstractionism, and impressionism. Her evolving passions have enabled her to create works on many subjects, from portraits to flowers, and animals and landscapes. Liz’s current work focuses on painting the American West.
Liz obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Weber State University (WSU) in 2021.
Liz lives with her little boy and wonderful husband.
