Liz has been drawing and painting all her life. Her first work to be noticed were the little houses she drew on the wall beside her bed in a hotel while the family were on holiday. Deciding not to be influenced by a formal art education, Liz studied Zoology and Botany enjoying the concentration of detailed observation and drawing. From an early age Liz was involved in theatre, influenced by her ventriloquist father. She gained her Stage Designers and Actors Equity card working at North East Theatre in Aberdeen. In 1984 she achieved a Post Graduate Diploma from Guildford School of Acting and Dance. On moving to Manchester to pursue her acting career she performed in television in Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Brookside and on stage at the Royal Exchange and on the Edinburgh Fringe. She formed her own theatre company Green Light Theatre writing, directing and performing in shows with environmental themes across the North West of England. She also developed training programmes passing on the skills she has learnt in performance, set design and writing.
Finding Purlieknowe brought Liz back to the North East of Scotland. The cottage was the perfect base in which to show her work while enjoying one of the best views of the fishing village of Catterline. As well as creating her art work Liz was promoting her professional writing and acting skills with groups in Aberdeen. Now recently returned to her roots in London Liz plans to have her work seen in exhibtions and galleries here.
