Her work has been shown at the Gracie Mansion, the Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University, the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts, and will be at the Musee d'Orsay in spring 2019.[1][2] Early lifeColomba was born in Èpinay-sur-Seine, where her parents had immigrated to from Martinique. She began painting early, making watercolors as a child to decorate her parents' Caribbean restaurant. As a teenager, she read The Image of the Black in Western Art by John and Dominique de Menil, which inspired her to paint a portrait of her great-grandmother in the style of Whistler’s Mother. She continued study the paintings of Louvre, especially the Dutch masters, and attended the École des Beaux-Arts. In 1998, she moved to Los Angeles and worked in storyboarding and illustration for the film industry.[1] PaintingsColomba started spending time in New York in 2007 to further her painting career, and moved to the city permanently in 2011. She met artist Deborah Willis in 2010 after Willis saw one of her paintings at the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts, and Willis helped her enter the New York art world.[1] In 2016, she had a solo exhibition of works at the Long Gallery in Harlem, which The New Yorker described as "opulent portraits of black women [that] redress the erasures of women of color in nineteenth-century art history."[3] In 2018, she painted Laure (Portrait of a Negresse), for a joint show between Columbia University and the Musee d'Orsay called "Posing Modernity: The Black Model from Manet and Matisse to Today." The painting's subject is Laure, the model of the black maid in Manet's 1863 painting Olympia.[1] Her 2015 piece Haven, depicting a black couple in Weeksville, was featured in a 2019 show at the Gracie Mansion organized by Chirlane McCray.[4][5] GalleryReferences1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web|url=https://www.vogue.com/article/elizabeth-colomba-interview-vogue-october-2018|title=Painter Elizabeth Colomba Is Giving Art’s Hidden Figures Their Close-Up|website=Vogue|language=en|access-date=2019-02-26}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Colomba, Elizabeth}}2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/27/style/april-hunt-professional-cool-person.html|title=A Publicist and D.J.
