I was born in Nottingham and moved to Invergowrie at the age of fourteen. I have always loved creating, achieved my Queens Guide and was awarded art prizes at school.
Having considered many options, I was keen to study and earn so chose a career in Nursing. I spent a few years in Aviemore as an Assistant Warden and studied Biotechnology at the University of Abertay.
When my son began school in 2002 I studied Fine Art and Fine Art Development in Dundee as a mature student.
I made the decision to become a professional artist in 2013 and continue to develop paintings in my studio at home. I enjoy this challenge.
I paint with watercolour.
I have been a tutor of art for over a decade and set up my own private ' Watercolour all Ways ' classes following lockdown. I have also enjoyed visiting art clubs to deliver workshops and talks.
I am a selected artist member of Paisley Art Institute and Elected Member of Glasgow Art Club.
I am pleased to have had work selected for Artists of the Year exhibitions and hung with the Royal Society of Scottish Painters in Watercolour. Recent work has been selected for International and National Online Exhibitions in the Ukraine, Italy, Japan, Malaysia and I enjoyed returning to the Mall Galleries last year to exhibit work with the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour.
I received the ' Escoda Gold Brush Award ' in 2022 and the ' Merit Award ' in 2023 for each entry in the Malaysia International Online Juried Art Competition, Still Life & Floral Category.
Recently, I am grateful and pleased that 'Liz Dulley Studio' was awarded 'Independent Artist of the Year' at Scotland Prestige Business Awards 23/24.
