Lizzie Black AROI

Statement

Lizzie Black is a painter living in Mousehole, Cornwall. Rooted in a tradition of plein air painting, Lizzie was taught in her formative years how to paint by her father artist Bernard Evans. Her formal background in painting was at Bristol Polytechnic and Falmouth School of Art, and she has exhibited extensively in Cornwall and the West Country. 

​"Painting within the landscape is an utterly absorbing art practice. By working onsite, my aim is not to copy, but to find a way of communicating experience. This might be the physical activity of movement, sound, wind or changing light. In some respects, I seek to unlearn what I know and describe the subject objectively and without prejudice.”
