Saltbush Artist Residency

I'm lucky enough to be the Artist in Residence at Saltbush Balnarring from July 8 - 22.

 

This special place is where I'll stay for two weeks to work on a new project  responding to the immediate environment and issues of plastic waste . Being Winter- its the perfect timne to spend days in the studio painting and thinking.

 

Neerim Bower Sculpture Prize

I was so happy to have been awarded equal first prize in the small sculpture exhibition for my work Birds flying high alongside Olivia O'Connor who is an amaing wood carver.

 

The theme of this years exhibition was Free as a bird and the works selected both inside and out were interesting, thoughtful and beautifully constructed.

My work sold ( as did many others) so I couldnt have been happier.

 

But I was particularly humbled by the comments from David Ashley Kerr- Senior curator at Latrobe Regional Gallery who said

Birds flying high is indicative of Liz's feather and cascading motifs. Her combination of an archway with falling feathers made of textured vintage brass to create a profound metaphor evoking the fragilityof life.This, coupled with an expert attention to detail, made for a superb sculpture and artwork of the highest quality.

 

 

 

PIP Magazine feature

 

I am absolutely thrilled to have been featured in the Summer eddition of PIP Magazine- a wonderful, insightful publication about living a more sustainably.

Keyyt Buckley came out to our place to chat and look at my work, garden, pantry and storeroom- it was a fantastic experience in every way.

 Bromley- Light after Dark

This new documentary about the divisive  and prolific artist David Bromley is interesting viewing but, as one of the artists interviewed during the making of this feature I  found it incredibly confronting seeing myself on the big screen .Bromleys very early works were amazingly raw and powerful and I hadnt seen any of these until viewing the film.
