She is a painter and art\/life practitioner. She was\u00a0influenced early on by Harry Thubron, her inspirational mentor at Leeds College of Art- and \u00a0later by the groundbreaking Judson Dance Theatre where she participated in various performances. Arlene Rothlein, Malcolm Goldstein, and Philip Corner became good friends. Yvonne Rainer was a powerful influence.<\/p>\n<p>Her paintings have been exhibited in various galleries in the U.K. and New York. In the Eighties in Upstate New York she met and collaborated with Linda\u00a0\u201cRosita\u201d Montano, performance\u00a0artist, \u00a0as well as becoming a friend of hers for life.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth Munro calls her work\u00a0\u201cSurvival Art\u201d and now sees it as a healing response to her childhood sexual abuse.\u00a0 She attributes her freedom of movement in painting- and the painting itself- inspired by the influence of Sam Francis, Jackson Pollock and the Abstract expressionists-in helping to create a Lifeline for her: for escape, survival, and healing\u00a0from early child sexual abuse.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment she has her studio in Wales and plans to do whatever she wants to next.<\/p>\n<p>Currently reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tibetan-Book-Living-Dying-International-ebook\/dp\/B000FC147G\">The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying<\/a> by Sogyal Rinpoche, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Ninth+Street+Women&amp;i=stripbooks&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss\">Ninth Street Women<\/a> by Mary Gabriel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0679738134\/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_20FNKBP2XAN18N641B50\">Look At Me<\/a> \u00a0by Anita Brookner and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0307277291\/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_BEKMS6SG0QDZ3K1VR2WM\">Self- Help<\/a> by Lorrie Moore.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11349\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11349\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11349\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/100_5557.jpg?resize=640%2C678&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/100_5557.jpg?resize=966%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 966w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/100_5557.jpg?resize=283%2C300&amp;ssl=1 283w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/100_5557.jpg?resize=768%2C814&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/100_5557.jpg?resize=696%2C738&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/100_5557.jpg?resize=1068%2C1133&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/100_5557.jpg?resize=396%2C420&amp;ssl=1 396w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/100_5557.jpg?w=1207&amp;ssl=1 1207w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11349\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>Scroll painting by Elizabeth Munro &#8211; \u2018Millstream\u2019, early spring, pink rushing water, Woodstock N.Y.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11350\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11350\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11350 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG-20210504-WA0014.jpg?resize=640%2C853&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG-20210504-WA0014.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG-20210504-WA0014.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG-20210504-WA0014.jpg?resize=696%2C928&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG-20210504-WA0014.jpg?resize=315%2C420&amp;ssl=1 315w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG-20210504-WA0014.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo from my dear friend Sky\u2019s natural burial in Boduan Wood, Eternal Forest Trust, near Pwllheli in Wales.
