Elizabeth gained national recognition
as an artist when, in 1992, The Royal Society of Marine Artists
presented her with the Charles Pears Award for the best picture in the
annual exhibition submitted by a non-member. Having demonstrated the
consistently high standard of her work over a number of years, she was
elected first to associate membership and then to full membership in
2001. In 2003 she was elected as one of the four officers, and a
trustee, of the RSMA, and in 2008 was elected unopposed to the position
of Vice President, thus becoming the first woman in the history of the
Society to hold this title.
In addition to exhibiting with the RSMA,
she has frequently had work selected for the annual exhibition of The
Pastel Society, at The Mall Galleries, London, and The Royal Birmingham
Society of Artists. She has won numerous awards, locally and nationally.
Pastel is Elizabeth’s preferred working
medium and her paintings cover such diverse subjects as landscape,
marine, industrial scenes and still-life.
Elizabeth, who was born in the New
Forest area of Hampshire, moved to the North East in the mid 1970’s. She
now lives and works in Ingleby Arncliffe, a small village on the
northern edge of the North York Moors. |
