Lizzie paints from life, either plein air in the cotswolds or from a still life in her studio.
“I take a long time setting up a still life to paint. I paint with the seasons and check what’s growing locally. I am constantly checking whether the day will be sunny or cloudy. Each still life is dependent on the light conditions. I never make anything up. I have to paint what’s in front of me. There is nothing more beautiful than real life”.
 
Lizzie has worked in Film and TV for 25 years as a Concept Artist and Matte Painter and now focuses on Oil Painting and also printmaking in Stratford Upon Avon where she has a studio. Lizzie still occasionally accepts digital matte painting and concept painting work.
 
Lizzie is available for commissions, contract work, and painting and printmaking for designers and also scenic art.
