Elizabeth was born in Warwickshire and lived amongst the cottages and local
countryside, which she still loves to paint. In her early 20’s she began
her travels overseas and lived in Spain, Iran and the UAE where she began to
paint pictures depicting her new environment. Her work was exhibited in various
galleries and was selected by commercial enterprises for their calendars and
greetings cards. The Ramada and Hilton Hotels chose to use her local scenes
as their décor.
Whilst in both Abu Dhabi and latterly Dubai she taught every medium to all
nationalities and became very involved in the Dubai Art Centre, organizing
the yearly exhibition and also arranging for professional artists to visit
from the UK to teach.
Unfortunately, this all came to an end when her husband was repatriated to
the UK and with great sadness she was obliged to leave her world of art behind.
She was however, determined to re-build her life and after working for the
Arts Council, moved with her husband to Lincoln. They bought an old Methodist
Chapel and schoolhouse and then spent the next 15 years converting it to both
living accommodation and an Art Studio with a beautiful stained glass window
as a backdrop. In the spring of 2006 Elizabeth and her husband decided to re-locate
to Wales a beautiful part of the UK with endless mountains, streams and coastline
to enjoy.
16 years ago Elizabeth successfully ventured into the world of miniatures,
where she has won numerous awards and exhibited on a global basis. Her work
now forms part of many private collections and has also been purchased by a
Fine Arts Museum.
EXHIBITED AT:- UNITED KINGDOM Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors, & Gravers – London
