    Lizzie is a London-based illustrator and printmaker. She graduated in 2019 from a Graphic Communications degree, and is now enjoying commissioned work as well as personal projects. Lizzie makes illustrations and artwork for a wide range of purposes. Her recent projects include illustrations for the Bristol Refugee Rights website, a mono-print for the 2020 Sarasa Chamber Music Ensemble brochure, illustrations for a children's book called 'Pedr's Big Mistake', and an illustrated guide to Biodegradable glitter for the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies. Lizzie has exhibited at Oxford Art Weeks events, Bristol's 'Oceans Matter' exhibition, and the Oxford Arts Society annual exhibition, where she was the winner of the Young Artist Competition in 2019. She was also winner of the 2019 Bath Fringe Festival poster design competition. Lizzie takes inspiration from the natural world, the creatures and people who inhabit it, and the stories they have to tell. Lizzie works with a variety of techniques, including pencil, paint, collage, and print-making, and enjoys bringing together the speed of the digital with the organic quality of the hand-made.
