Elizabeth is an artist, designer, illustrator and quilt maker. She works in a variety of media including; etching, relief, drawing, painting and textiles. Elizabeth's exploration into ideas surrounding travel, notions of 'home', and narrative are central to her work. She places a particular emphasis on the artist’s role as documenter, cartographer and storyteller. Motifs and symbols have a strong presence in her work and act as markers of experience and a point in which the viewer can navigate through the work. Illustration are often compiled from images taken from her own drawings, quilts, collages and her many journals and artist’s books.
Elizabeth completed her MA in Illustration in 2009 at Camberwell College of Art, London, following a BA in printmaking at RMIT, Melbourne. She has also studied Puppetry and Set Design at Collingwood, Melbourne.
