About the artwork
"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.Macaw on a Vase

The beauty of the world, of formal gardens, country houses and furnishings, patterns and flowers and most importantly the subtlety of colour were what called to her. When Elizabeth discovered silkscreen printing that achieved the pure clean colours she was striving for she knew she had discovered her medium.
