| Liz was born in Brisbane and studied art at the Queensland Institute of Technology. She travelled and lived abroad for several years before moving to Bundeena in the mid 1980s. Since then she has completed an Advanced Diploma in ceramics at Gymea TAFE and a Bachelor of Fine Art in Sculpture at the National Art School Sydney. The dominant theme in Liz’s work is the landscape, in particular the local landscape. The work is concerned with impermanence, weathering, and the patterns and processes of nature. Her interest in the Australian landscape, and different ways of viewing it, first developed when during an earlier career she was able to spend a great deal of time looking at the country from the air. Her other interest, that of bushwalking, has given her another entirely different experience of the landscape and enabled her to approach her subject matter from multiple perspectives. Along with traditional mediums Liz also likes to work with recycled and natural materials. She uses materials such as twigs, leaves, sand, clay, and recycled cans to construct fluid, textural, abstract landscapes that draw the viewer into the world of nature. Liz has exhibited in several exhibitions of painting and sculpture and was a finalist in the Hazelhurst Art Awards in 2011. |
