Elizabeth Marie Francisco

Working predominantly with oil paint, artist Elizabeth Francisco contributes her take on themes regarding natural landscapes like Yosemite National Park as well as local and Italian urban landscapes through her ongoing practice. Elizabeth, who was born in 1972 in New Jersey, earned both her Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine degrees in the Philippines, eventually pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. Her prior career as a Family Practice physician and U.S. Army flight surgeon has instilled invaluable traits like passion, dedication, discipline, and observational skills. Her frequent moves during childhood as a U.S. Navy brat and her later travels around the world with her spouse provide inspiration as her subject matter. She currently resides in Manteca, located in the Central Valley of Northern California.
