Artist Statement:
My newest series that includes
ballerinas is about the way
these figures make you feel
inside. I include flowers in
the titles as a way to speak
about our feminine side. As a
new mother, I see how precious
our body is to create
something so beautiful be our
own creation. I am in love
with the idea of beauty and
idealizing it....

| Your Personal Biography |
Elizabeth Cencini is a native Houstonian and student at the University of Houston. She is seeking a degree in Painting. She has studied art in various locations in Florence, Italy. While a student at Accademia del Giglio and Libera Accademia di Belle Arti, she learned techniques such as Italian fresco, Roman Byzantine mosaics, figure drawing and the master techniques in oil painting. She has also studied with internationally known Master Artist Franco Rossi of Arezzo, Italy.
Her artwork is collected in homes across Europe and in the U.S. She is one of the most active community artists in Houston and her efforts have established a new home for her artwork in her local town of Houston, Texas at Winter Street Studios.
In her professional career, she has helped out over 80 artists with organizations such as Artists Alive and Well, Inc. and helped as founder of Green House Gallery with the Public Relations.
She has brought these groups the attention of the media and helped place them in the eye of the public. Publications such as Arts Houston Magazine, 002 Houston Magazine, Houston Press, Paper City Magazine, Houston Envy Magazine and online sites such as greenrightnow.com, artshounds.com, and spacetaker.org, have written articles and added her press releases to their calanders. Thanks to her efforts many have had personal acknowledgement and much success in their own careers.
In her artistic career, she is most notably known for her Vespa-scooter art collection that was on view in April 2008 at the Italian Cultural Center, and also at the local Starbucks on Montrose and Hawthorn in May. She is also a long time community activist, from artist educator in the outreach programs for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, to helping out with charities and fundraising from Via Colori in support of the Center for Hearing and Speech, to Art for Aids, and Cancer Fighters of America.
