Liza's passion for Africa, its peoples and its wildlife
led her to explore Southern and Central Africa where
she blossomed. During her three-year stay in Botswana
she ran her own Children's Art School and held solo
exhibitions. The call of the wilderness took her
to the Namibian desert where she spent a year honing
her eye for subtle colour variations and
landscapes.
She resided in Zimbabwe for five years and during
this time she ran her own art gallery and studio
in Harare and organised exhibitions for international
artists and participated in group exhibitions with
local artists. She is now living in the Hartbeespoort
Dam area in South Africa from where she does mainly
commissioned work such as portraits, horse and animal
studies and murals.
Liza enjoys working in different media, although
her pencil sketches embody some of her finest work.
She has an amazing ability to capture life's struggles
on canvas and to express her inner concern for the
pain and drama of everyday life. Most of her work
reflects a passion for Nature and symbolizes her
commentary on the sustainability in the face of
human destruction. Her paintings have a surrealistic
orientation with a dramatic use of colour and tone.
She has exhibited and sold her work through the
African Easel since 1995. Liza’s work is represented
in private collections in South Africa, Botswana,
Zimbabwe, Namibia, UK, Australia, Germany, Portugal,
Canada and the USA.
