Elizabeth is a contemporary, figurative painter who is involved in the making of images, particularly concerning those of people and the feelings they evoke, by posture and expression. The human figure gradually became her primary interest after years of life drawing for her career in fashion and visual merchandising. She attended several courses at the St Ives School of Painting, designed to add a more spontaneous feel to her work. She is currently developing a new technique in watercolour painting, adding fine black marks to define the area where two colours or tones meet; this adds movement to the image and keeps the eye engaged, searching for the true edges of the figure.
