Liz is a practicing creative embroidery artist who exhibits internationally and whose work is in private collections in France, England, America,Sweden and Switzerland. She has had work published in magazines and books in both England and F
rance and has written two books.
She regards her art as first and foremost a means of expressing her interests in natural forms and finds the rhythm and pace of working in fabric, thread and paint an ideal medium for this expression. Liz mostly uses her local environment in rural Provence and her garden for her subjects
Liz's 5-day residential Workshops are run from her home in Provence and are based on her methods of working which incorporate spray or hand painting, collage of small pieces of fabric, hand and machine embroidery.
