Elizabeth Slocum

Many people visit Signature Gallery and look at my work and ask is it
glass, ceramic, molding compound, oil – just what is it? Believe it or
not, all of my work that is currently available is composed of a hand-
made proprietary acrylic paint blend that took several years of
experimentation to perfect.
Starting with a birch wood canvas for stability purposes, I paint in the
background and then move on to the main subject matter.
I separately mix all the paint for each piece for a wet on wet
application. To achieve the desired texture, I combine a formulated
wet and dry pigment into an acrylic base. I then add oyster shell dust,
pearl dust, and crushed gold leaf which gives the paint a wonderful
luster. I also add a polymer which lends protective flexibility to the
paint helping to avoid cracking, chipping, and discoloring. In this way,
the paint permeates each component of the piece and possesses a consistency of

thick peanut butter when I apply it directly to the birch.
The tough part is waiting the two to four weeks it takes the piece to
dry and cure.
Along with existing pieces, I create many custom pieces which allow
my clients to attain the color, sizing, and subject matter they desire.
Should you wish to investigate an original piece of my unique
artwork, whether existing or custom, please visit my website at
