In addition to exhibiting her work throughout the UK in her current business, Liz at the Beach Hut, Liz  enjoyed a career teaching Art in Secondary Education for Twenty five years,  after a P.G.C.E in Edinburgh. Liz taught Art to 11-18 yr olds in her High School career as well as sharing   her skills and enthusiasm with a huge range of local Art schemes, Art in mental health groups, Community and Children’s Art Groups, and Art classes in Care homes and Hospitals.

Projects and long-term collaborations include Art with Sick Kids, Art therapy, Children’s Art and Craft classes, Domestic Abuse survivor workshops and Dementia craft classes. A wonderfully wide range of classes and projects have been undertaken with ages ranging from 4 to 104.

Liz’s Art mirrors the joy she shares in teaching and sharing, enabling others to see their potential, to make their own magic.

Her early retirement through an auto immune condition created more time again for her own Art and writing.

During the pandemic, the Artists taught by Liz in her local Art group were inspired to draw daily. Each morning a theme and a sketch was shared to a WhatsApp, until the group could meet again in person. .

Over the days, weeks, months and now years; these galleries have become wonderful collections of community Artwork and responses to a theme. After the restrictions were lifted , the WhatsApp sharing became  a physical class, but the method continued and still does to this day. It was, and is, a lifeline to many.

The weekly themes became Artwork and prints. Poems were written by Liz to accompany each post. The cumulative result of which has become a large volume of original writing.
