About the artist

Liz is an Australian-born Sydney based artist. Her artworks are based on a variety of different aspects of the Australian life as seen with beachscapes and high country series. Most artworks tend to feature Australian wildlife and botany. Liz has featured in the ArtEdit Magazine, Best of Flora and Fauna , 2018. Her artworks are painted with the intention to highlight the beauty of wildlife and the nature for expressing the importance of conservation and protection of those that have no voice. She aims to capture character in the animate and inanimate with a broad brushstroke of harmony and aesthestic added to the eclectic mix. Observations made on Liz's on everyday walks, her upbringing in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, love of wildlife or travels abroad inspire her artworks, using texture, hues, forms, colours and lines to portray the natural world and symmetry or asymmetry that exists. Liz enjoys variety in her artworks, as they say variety is spice of life, as such does not limit her artworks to any particular matter or thing.
