I make myself draw one idea over and over again, then paint it quickly, then do it in another color. But I know for sure my initial ideas are crap-definitely each project starts with a whole slew of iterations. It’s different every time for me, possibly because I rebel against even my own guidelines regularly. Nicole Caputo: We would love to hear a bit about your process and how you begin. Illustration by Elizabeth Haidle for Catapult For more of her work, follow her on Drip and on Instagram.
Her works lit up Catapult this month and we hope they will also illuminate your reading experience.Įlizabeth creates her art in Portland, Oregon, where she also plays the musical saw. Every time we shared a new essay or story with her, beautiful written concepts that were tricky to visualize on a canvas, Elizabeth’s art-even her earliest concept sketches!-made all of us in the office sigh with admiration and gratitude. She created eight pieces of art for the magazine, their topics ranging from mental health to queen bees, from striking pitch pines to alien cheerleaders. Her whimsical and quirky art grounded by earthy, rich palettes and often accompanied by humorous hand-lettered captions seemed the perfect way to start off our new year.
I have been following Elizabeth’s work for many years and was so excited to hear about her enthusiasm for our Catapult Artist program. As part of our Catapult Artist program, Nicole Caputo, Catapult’s art director, sits with December’s #CatapultArtist for a conversation on art, creativity, and the artist’s life.
