Announcement
My art focuses on a subtle exploration of shapes and structure that can be found in the natural world through single-plane studies of birds, insects and plants in their natural environment. Each work is an intimate portrait of the subject, so as to magnify the beauty that is in nature if we are just willing to look!
The work shown here are a mixture of original pen&ink illustrations, pencil drawings, archival-quality prints, greeting cards, and stickers too.
Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in special orders of a combination of items for a packaged price.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful artwork. I look forward to purchasing more in the future. Seller generously gifted a greeting card along with my purchase which was equally as beautiful. My husband is a wildlife biologist and specializes in birds as well as reptiles and amphibians. He has worked with Ca. Tiger salamanders and was pleased with the purchase.

5 out of 5 starsI know the quality of the item is tops, since I've ordered one before. Exquisite detail captures the essence of the California tiger salamander and the feeling of movement. Mailed quickly and arrived ahead of schedule.

5 out of 5 starsElizabeth Romanini’s artworks express her deep love of nature: each object is delicately inhabited and understood as she draws. We got the lichen “heart” for our son’s anniversary and they loved it. Her creations are always of highest quality and craftsmanship.

I use the pencil lines as a guide for adding the ink, and add detail as I go along. -

I need to be relatively detailed with the pencil in order to show the detail of the fronds. -

The pigment usually covers the pencil completely, so there is no need to erase it. -

I use translucent watercolors with lots of water. I lay down just enough paint to give color, but not cover the ink.
Biography
I try to show a respect for nature in my work by maintaining a sense of realism; I also hope to convey a better appreciation for nature that is all around us. I do extensive research on the habits and habitats of all my subjects before I begin a drawing. The images I create are rendered in detail by the use of live, or mounted specimens, and foliage I gather to bring into the studio. It is very important to me to be as realistic as I can, though sometimes I allow a more creative approach to guide me.
