"A Feathered Fantasy: Inspired by Nature"
My lifelong fascination with exotic birds began in South Wales, where my
mother established a sanctuary that nurtured and protected rare avian
species. Witnessing these vibrant creatures up close ignited a passion for
their colourful plumage and fantastical allure.
This early inspiration has now culminated in my latest collection of paintings.
Drawing upon the historical use of birds in textile and homeware design, I've
juxtaposed realistic avian imagery with the fantastical elements often found in
contemporary decor.
Elizabeth's meticulous process begins with in-depth research. She then
sketches a composition, refining it until she's completely satisfied. To create
the soft backgrounds, she employs delicate ink washes. The intricate details
are then brought to life with acrylic paint and fine-line pens. To add a touch of
opulence, she highlights each painting with metallic gold or silver. This labour-
intensive process typically requires over 100 hours of dedicated work.
