LISS S.

Artist Statement:

I belong to Christ Jesus.

​

​

A quiet ruckus. Liss Elizabeth Skariah is a professional visual artist. Her grandmother taught her to begin each day with prayer, and that quiet whisper was about unceasing prayer and guarding her education — being prudent and vigilant, that she might become a woman of grace. Her discipline includes trusting in God, over and over again.

​

Her foundation is both formal training and self-teaching. The recipient of numerous artistic accolades and a winner across multiple disciplines, her formation runs deeper than credentials — years of active participation in art, acting, dance, and movement, alongside studies in film appreciation and art history. Each discipline informs the next, weaving into a singular artistic voice.

​

Liss began as a child prodigy in watercolor painting and pastel blending, then went on to study portraiture and hyper-realistic shading. Her body of work holds a number of excellent portraits, and today she has returned to her first love — the watercolor creative process. She is generous and joyful in her artistic endeavor and her legacy.

​

In all of it, she magnifies God in Jesus Christ as the giver of all good things. Her failures and desolation remind her of a God who sees — a God who provides — a God who is love. Her successes and victories remind her that her true treasure is not the things of this world, but that she belongs to Jesus Christ: a song of songs, a hymn of all hymns, a psalm of all psalms.

​

She is always creating. She is a Christian artist, attentive to consistency and daily practice rather than outcome.

"I belong to Jesus Christ. Into your hands, I commit my spirit."
