Artist and 2008 NSHP sponsor, Elizabeth Baez, has built her image and name through her paintings. Stepping into the scene eight years ago, Ms. Baez has made 2008 an important year in her artistic history. In December of 2007, Bank of America asked this painter to carry out a work that represented the Puerto Rican essence, which was delivered in a gala March 2008, in the Island of Enchantment, Puerto Rico.

The artwork chosen was an acrylic painting of the Coca Falls, a detail of the rain forest of Puerto Rico, located in the national park The Yunque. The bank asked to Báez for an original and 300 canvas reproductions reprints that were delivered last month in several meetings organized by the financial institution in Puerto Rico.

Back in 2000, the Miami resident decided to become an artist knowing that it would be a risk. Although, judging by the selection done by the Bank of America, it confirms that was an adequate decision. While always looking for opportunities to exhibit her art in the Florida, and keeping her website up-to-date with her new works, Báez also works on requests for paintings that new clients ask her for.
