Welcome Incubator Artist, Elizabeth Bloom, to Aurora Hills!
Arlington Public Library spotlights local artists through the Incubator program which promotes art as a means to inspire, to connect and to facilitate thought-provoking and timely conversations.

The reception will be held in the lobby of the Aurora Hills Library in front of the artwork.

Artist Statement: Elizabeth Bloom is an Arlington, Virginia-based painter, illustrator, and designer whose work blends the timelessness of nature with the elegance of fashion illustration. Known for her whimsical approach to visual storytelling, she draws inspiration from botanical landscapes, coastal destinations, vintage ephemera, and fashion photography, transforming everyday moments into richly layered watercolor and mixed-media compositions. Working primarily in watercolor, ink, and oil pastels, Elizabeth balances thoughtful detail with spontaneity, creating expressive works that celebrate color, texture, and the beauty of the natural world through a lens that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

Light refreshments will be served.
