Before becoming a painter, Liz worked in various roles, including as a psychotherapist, medical secretary and cinema usherette. Born in Cardiff, her life experiences, relationships and sense of place have deeply influenced her art. She began painting after completing her MSc, discovering connections between her studies and the ideas explored in art classes, particularly how experiences, memories and personal histories shape individual perspectives. Having always worked in oils, she is now embracing acrylics and collage. She also treasures the friendships, shared creativity and conversations nurtured through Drawn Together, a group of fellow artists.
“I have always painted with oils, but am currently converting myself to acrylics, due to their willing combination with collage, their ability to be layered and the ease of paintbrush washing.””
