Hello, I'm Tamara Eliot, the daughter of Duval
Eliot. This website is a work of love and admiration for my
mother, one of California's great artists.
| My appreciation
for my mother and her work has grown since she died in 1990.
While curating her art, I discover lost classics I had never
seen. Many of her greatest artistic accomplishments were
lost, stolen or drowned in floods. I have now recovered much
of that work. This website is a living testimonial to her
diverse talent.
Her
friends and associates told me: "There was no one like her,
as a person, an artist and a teacher."
Don,
Tamara and Duval in 1979 |

"She
was constantly searching ... she experimented, she didn't get
stuck in her ways,' Carmichael said. There's an easy answer
to anyone who questions Eliot's lack of a signature style.
"Just refer them to Picasso he went through one phase after
another ... Her paintings hold up against anyone else's paintings
of the period.'
