We are excited to introduce Elizabeth Holmes Frisch, an artist we have been commissioned to represent. With over 50 pieces featuring her oil paintings, watercolors, and mixed media pieces, her work—though not widely known—will resonate with collectors who appreciate artists like Georges Braque, Paul Klee, and Sonia Delaunay.
