Tundras Talking
Lisbeth Quebe
When Lisbeth Quebe resumed painting in 2002, after a 35-year hiatus called a career, she first painted still lifes, and continues to enjoy creating them. She like to incorporate items that resonate with people because of the memories they prompt. A few years later Quebe began painting en plein air. The rolling hills of the Driftless Area, the creeks and streams, and the iconic family farms offered countless opportunities for painting. The quickly changing light, the many shades of green in spring and summer, the rich hues of fall and the harvest—all drew me outdoors, intent on capturing a small part of this special area. She now paint landscapes primarily in my studio, from studies and photographs. In 2011, Quebe began painting animals, and found new subjects to love. The Quebe’s went on frequent “photo safaris” looking for the perfectly posed animal in perfectly placed light. Her paintings strive to capture not only the likeness of the animal, but a little of their personality too.

About the Artist
Lisbeth Quebe
Lisbeth Quebe has always loved drawing. She first took oil painting lessons as a teen in her hometown of Decatur, Illinois, and went on to major in art at the University of Colorado. A three-decade career in marketing and communications for the architectural industry left no time for drawing and painting but when she retired in 2002 to a rural property in the Driftless Area of southwest Wisconsin, Liz immediately picked up a brush. Twenty year later, after many paintings and much woodworking on the part of her husband Jerry (who made many of her beautiful hand-crafted frames) she moved to Rochester, Minnesota where she maintains a studio in her home.
Liz is an associate member of Oil Painters of America, the American Impressionist Society, and American Women Artists.
