Biographies
Elisabeth Cummings is one of Australia’s most respected living artists with a career spanning over 60 years. Cummings studied at the National Art School in Sydney and was awarded the AGNSW Travelling Art Scholarship in 1958.
Cummings’ bold use of colour and exaggerated mark-making is her signature approach to the Australian landscape. An intrepid traveller, Elisabeth continues her journeys around the Australian bush, painting smaller ‘en plein air’ works, as well as larger pieces back in the studio. She frequently returns to Wedderburn, where Elisabeth finds unending subject matter in the interior of her studio and in the surrounds she knows so well.
Elisabeth’s work can be found in the collections of all major public institutions throughout Australia including the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Art Gallery of South Australia and the National Gallery of Australia. Her work is also included in the collections of the Australian Club, Artbank, Macquarie Bank, College of Fine Arts UNSW, and numerous regional art galleries across Australia.
