“Roz,” Original Oil on Canvas by Elaine Lazarus, 48” x 36”

This painting was inspired by my grandmother, Roz, who was born and raised in Chicago. A strong and resilient woman, she lived through the World War II era, balancing hard work with a love of life. She was an avid Cubs fan, enjoyed playing and watching sports, loved poker, and was known for her warmth, charm, and dedication as a mother. This piece celebrates her vibrant spirit and enduring strength.
