Elizabeth Sundahl recently graduated from the University of Kansas with degrees in visual art and economics. Originally from Denver, Colorado, Elizabeth grew up with a respect for her environment that has continued to inform everything she does. Over the past year, she has worked with friends to establish the KU Beekeeping Club and has taken inspiration for her paintings from the bees that she cares for. As a result of Elizabeth’s respect for her environment, her paintings focus on ecological themes and often highlights her interest in conveying the natural and structural forms of her favorite experiences with nature, including images of the beehives she maintains as well as the landscapes of Denver and Lawrence.
