About The Artwork

Created using images from 1950’s magazines, and is more light hearted than other pieces in this collection. Celebrating fashion and the beauty of women, the artist's time as a couture designer shines through with the use of colour and pattern. There are undertones of women still needing to dress to impress in clothes that are not practical in everyday life - and beneath the surface questioning the acceptance of the 'male gaze'. The process to achieve the final pieces is a long journey from the original idea searching through 1950's magazines to find the source material to build a collage of words and images. The collages are then hand painted with wash and paint pens to add colour and detail imitating the original feel of printed magazines. The finished collages are enlarged onto fine art paper. The final but most labour intensive of the process is adding the thousands of crystals. The strength of the message is important but with these prints Elizabeth has still created art that is pleasurable to look at with obsessive attention to detail and perfect execution. They are signed and numbered and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity. Elizabeth is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Artists and an RA Exhibitor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZsv6dYaBog

As an artist I have gone full circle. I started my career as a silkscreen printmaker exhibiting at the Royal Academy, many UK galleries and international exhibitions in New York, LA and Paris. My journey has taken me through 28 years as a couture designer where fashion became my medium of expression dressing society women, couture brides and celebrities. The world of luxury brands, advertising and media has influenced my work as I step away from fashion and return to my artist roots. The source material for these mixed media collages comes from the glossy fashion magazines. Cutting and repositioning photos, logos and textures creates images that show how brands and fashion have influenced us and inspired our choices. Words and comments are added to elevate my messages. Once complete, the collages are transferred onto canvas and embellished with paint, ink, crystals, gems, glitter and gold leaf. Coating the images with a high gloss resin reinstalls the glossy world of luxury brands and pop culture that are so familiar to us. The glossy world of fashion and celebrity culture has been elevated to the gallery wall where it now makes a new positive statement.
