Western Rose Studios

Hello, I'm Elizabeth Zimmerman, the creative Oregonian behind Western Rose Studios located in Salem, Oregon.

I love driving on back country roads with the radio up, chai tea, making my house into a home, and of course my little family.

I would love to be there for you to capture your memories in art or photography. As a mom I know how fleeting the moments can be and how thankful I am to remember all the memories as photos or art.

Testimonials

"I had the most amazing experience during my photoshoot! I never felt rushed and everything was great and laid back! Even when my horse did not want to cooperate! I loved Elizabeth’s company and she truly cares for her clients and four legged clients as well! I would HIGHLY recommend her work!!" - Alyssa

“Elizabeth is very talented and captured my mare perfectly. She was even able to paint her in show tack. She kept me informed of her progress and completed the project on time. I'm so happy, I've ordered another painting for my daughter.” - Sue "Khat"

"After taking Elizabeth's live workshop at the horse rescue facility, she offered me an opportunity for private lessons. There's no way I could pass up a chance to learn more from her vast knowledge of horses. Her skill and talent are obvious, but not everyone is able to pass that on to others. She is a rare exception. She is patient, kind, and an excellent instructor. Thank you, Elizabeth, for your part in a true highlight in my life." - Sam

"Elizabeth Zimmerman shares her upbeat energy and excellent ability to communicate when she teaches. She is easy to understand and well prepared. Even outside of a workshop situation, she generously offers answers to my questions about horses, her painting process and her waterfall photography. Through her journal descriptions of her waterfall hikes, I learned about Wahclella Falls in the Columbia Gorge and enjoyed it with my family on Mother’s Day last May.” - Linda

"We absolutely love having our one of a kind portrait of our dogs hanging in our living room. When I sit down to relax with a glass of wine at the end of a busy day I love looking down at my dogs at my feet, then looking up and seeing my dogs above my fire place. I will certainly be contacting you if I ever need another piece done." ~ Natalie & Tom "Pip and Baby Girl"
