Welcome to my Website
Hello! I'm Liz, a watercolour artist and art tutor inspired by travel in Japan. I'm based in  Perthshire, Scotland.

Thank you for visiting my site. I find watercolour an exciting medium. With a delicate approach I explore the versatility of water with colour and manipulate paint to create interesting surfaces. I enjoy design and use absolutely everything to explore with, except a paintbrush! I enjoy and am constantly thrilled by the unpredictable and delightful textures that evolve from my watercolour palette.
Using snippets collected during my visit to Japan, work sometimes includes Japanese paper on the painting surface
In recent work, influenced by travel in Japan I explore using symbolism and am interested in the space in-between.
I have enjoyed creating a series of artworks inspired by a visit to the kimono collection at Ueno Museum, in Tokyo.
When weather permits I like to be with nature, painting flowers outdoors. Using an organic approach I aim to paint a flower in an hour!
I continue to draw from Japanese experience and in conjunction with my painting I enjoy teaching and am eager to explore techniques, create and continue to explore exciting marks, with watercolour.
