Artist Statement

Liz Wellby is a versatile and experienced fine artist. Following the completion of a Fine Arts degree at Loughborough University and subsequent post graduate studies, she returned to the Derbyshire Dales where for over 30 years she has worked as an artist, teacher and maker.

Living and working in Derbyshire is important to Liz, providing a significant visual response for her work. The themes of home, countryside and the domestic environment, can be seen in her drawings, print work and small scale wire sculpture.

Liz is an experienced teacher and award winning tutor, running a wide range of creative workshops for charities, galleries, museums and arts groups, across the East Midlands. In the Spring and Autumn, she travels to Hampshire, to run creative arts weeks in a beautiful thatched barn: www.bloomingdesigns.com. You may also join Liz for individual tuition and small group workshops at her beautiful home studio, The Slipper Studio, on the edge of the Peak District. Full details for her workshops can be found on the Events & Workshops section on her website or visit www.craftcourses.com

Using her skills as a lino cutter and printer, Liz creates house portraits of special and favourite buildings, be they a terrace home or a country pile. Full details and a small range of examples can be found on her website.

Studio visits by arrangement are welcome, giving you the opportunity to view her work in a calm, relaxing environment.
