About Liz

Liz is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

I was born in the Eastern Cape, grew up on a cattle farm, right on the sea, and studied Fine Art in Durban. At the moment I am living in a remote part of Northern Portugal, very close to the Spanish border. I have always loved oil paints, their tactile qualities, and bold brushtrokes, artists like Matisse, and also Hockney, esp. the Expressionistic interiors that he painted in California, in the 1990's , also the portraits of his dachshunds.I also admire young artists like Elizabeth Peyton and Cecily Brown.
I find subject-matter a dilemma sometimes and the debate over style v content, then I think, what the hell, style IS content, and the paint is the subject. My kids think I'm a dork with terrible taste, because of my love of all things shiny, ( i use sequins and small rhinestones in some of my paintings )
