About The
Artist
Born into
an artistic and theatrical family in 1943, Liz
has been painting and drawing all her life. She
spent an unconventional childhood living in St.
James’s Palace, where her father was a member of
the Royal Household. After studying art to A
level at school, she worked for four years at
the Natural History Museum where her duties
included illustrating the publications and
lectures of zoologists researching there. This
was followed by several years of part time study
at various colleges and with a number of eminent
artists including Edward Wesson.
After
qualifying as an Adult Education tutor in 1979
Liz followed a successful career teaching weekly
classes in drawing, watercolours, and mixed
media for Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire County
Councils from which she retired in 2003. She now
concentrates on a busy schedule demonstrating to
Art Societies throughout the country and
teaching residential courses at Dedham Hall nr.
Colchester, Earnley Concourse in Sussex, and
other centres. She has also contributed to
several books including ‘The Artists’
Sketchbook’ and ‘Watercolour Plus’ and writes
regular articles for ‘The Artist’ magazine. In
addition, Liz is a well-known authority on
artists’ materials and has demonstrated for most
of the major manufacturers
During a
career spanning over thirty years Liz has taken
part in numerous exhibitions, both solo and with
other artists, at galleries and other venues
throughout the country, and as a result her work
is held in many collections both public and
private at home and all over the world.
In
London, she exhibits regularly at Mall Galleries
with the Royal Institute of Painters in
Watercolour and The Society of Women Artists to
which she gained elected membership in 1993. In
addition she is a full member of the Society of
Floral Painters with whom she exhibits twice a
year. An active and committed member of many
local Art Societies, she has recently been
elected President of the Arun Art Society. She
has a widespread reputation for still life,
floral, and landscape paintings (many of which
have been regularly reproduced as greetings
cards and prints by major companies). Her main
inspirations are light, colour, and the heath
land landscape around her home in Lightwater,
Surrey.
Due to Climate Change,
a terrible future for the earth is likely in the
lifetime of our children and grandchildren - it
doesn't have to happen if enough is done to stop
it, but action needs to start now!
Note: There may be
slight variations in colour for the
pictures displayed, depending on
your pc & screen and limitations of photographic and scanning
equipment and related processes.
