Elizabeth Bogard's paintings have been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries throughout the world, including: the Palm Beach International Exhibition, Florida; the Dixie National Exhibition, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Alabama; the Mid-South Exhibition, Brooks Memorial Museum, Memphis, TN; the Delta Regional Exhibition, Arkansas Arts Center, Little Rock, AR.; the Contemporary Southwestern Artists Invitational Exhibition, Witte Memorial Museum, San Antonio, TX.; and the Contemporary Southern Art Exhibition, which toured forty-four museums in North America.

Bogard's paintings have hung in the U.S. Senate Building, Washington, D.C., and are included in the private and corporate collections all over the world such as the Rockefeller Foundation in the U.S., and Tequila Sauza, S.A., Mexico.

She was selected by Robert Doty of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C., to be presented in a three-person exhibition at Brooks Memorial Museum, Memphis, TN. She was recently honored by the invitation to exhibit her work in the very prestigious "Biennale Internazionale dell' Arte Contempoeranea," Florence, Italy.

She works in two mediums: oil and gouache/collage. Currently developing figurative works, she employs complex techniques in texture and design, layering oriental papers and fibers, and alternating pigment and polymer glazing. She draws inspiration from architectural and other designs from ancient cultures. She has done extensive study in anthropology and archaeology for over thirty years.

After living eighteen years in Mexico, she has recently returned to her native Arkansas, but continues her world travel and study.

Professional Critiques

"What is hypnotic about Bogard's work is the skill in which color harmonies and complements are used to implant the visual perspectives and give rhythm to each painting. Rare is the artist who finds the right way to make paints push and pull like the notes in fine music."

Guy Northrup, Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tennessee


"Bogard's work suggests a universal terrain which contains a vibrant cosmic rhythm and mystic intensity."

La Revue Moderne des Arts magazine, Paris, France.
