Elizabeth Sadler

Elizabeth Sadler grew up in a small village in Cambridgeshire, where she spent long days walking and cycling through fields and quiet country lanes. From an early age, she was captivated by the intricate detail of plants and insects, as well as the vastness of distant horizons — themes that continue to inform her work today.

In 1983, she emigrated to Seychelles, where she lived and worked for 31 years as both a freelance artist and a farmer. During this time, she established a strong presence in the local art community. Her first solo exhibition of botanical work was held at the Alliance Française in 1985, followed by a second in 1991.
