LizBeth Ogiela-Scheck

Dream & Creativity Director


LizBeth Ogiela-Scheck is first & foremost a creative soul, who creates artwork in oil, ink, and acrylic that reflects her vision of the internal world interacting with the external. LizBeth creates paintings that are meant to be felt with the eyes, seen with the heart, and touched by the soul. Her paintings often are meditations on nature and spiritual reflections interpreted through vibrant, high contrasting, colors and organic shapes in order to evoke a reaction and internal dialog.

Capturing Dreams


I’ve worked with a variety of visual artists in so many different ways. As unique as each painting, photo, illustration, and sculpture is, so is each artist’s needs and dreams.
