Lizzie O'Grady

With a 40-year career that spans art publishing, digital architecture, and graphic design, I have returned to my true passion—painting—with renewed vigor and a profound perspective shaped by decades of visual exploration. As a proud self-taught artist, I harness my extensive graphic design background to vividly convey the dynamic interplay between the natural world and the built environment.

‍While the Italian Futurist movement deeply influences my work, I continually evolve my style, drawing inspiration from broader movements like Orphic Cubism, Synchromism, and Cubism. The Precisionists, especially Georgia O’Keeffe’s iconic New York Skyscrapers, first ignited my fascination and led me to discover extraordinary architectural forms that explore the fluid boundaries between the organic and the artificial.

‍In the past year, my initial paintings of clouds have embraced a softer quality. Each piece starts with a structured architectural form, yet these structures transform gracefully as it unfolds. They become windows into an ethereal realm—some radiating tranquillity while others evoke a sense of biblical wrath.
