About the Artist

Liz Coxford in her West Dorset studio

"Indigo; ocre; turquoise; umber; cadmium and terracotta; a mantra of pigments. Blended and burnished, these pencil strokes take on a life of their own."

The movement of light is a recurring theme throughout Liz's collections of intricate coloured pencil drawings. Each work, in this delicate medium, is precisely planned and created over many hours, with layer upon layer of pigments.

A foundation with distinction from the University of Arts, London, sits alongside a degree in Building Surveying and Membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Liz's experience of translating designs from paper to constructed buildings and, working both precisely and more creatively at her drawing board, have been a constant throughout her career.

Based at her studio in West Dorset, Liz has a stunning environment on her door step to inspire her collections of drawings.
