Abstract:

Swain County watercolorist Mary Elizabeth Moorefield Ellison uses paint, handmade paper, and her deep knowledge of the natural world to create images of the western North Carolina mountain world. She and her family have lived for thirty years in a forty-six acre cove that is bounded on three sides by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Her paintings show the native plants and animals, tumbling streams, homesteads, and mountain landscapes of the North Carolina mountains.
