Lizzie Wells

After graduating in Graphic Design from Ravensbourne College of Art and Design, I worked on magazines for a number of years, including working as Assistant Art Editor for Good Housekeeping and then as Art Editor on Ideal Home.
After that I set up a graphic design business with my husband Richard with a wide variety of international clients.
Alongside this I have recently resumed a style of art which involves painting paper (using acrylics and oil paint sticks), then cutting and weaving it. I first started this technique at art college, but put it on hold while I furthered my career in publishing.
In some examples, I create two images which are cut and woven together to create one final image, with the weaving making a pattern across the surface.
In other instances, I use the weaving to change the flow and shape of an image.
My influences include Bridget Riley, M C Escher and Vasarely
