Elizabeth Mace

Originally from Rochester in Kent, where she still exhibits at the Francis Iles gallery, Liz now lives and works near Shipdham in Norfolk. Village and county shows, fairs and similar gatherings of enthusiastic people hold a special fascination for Liz. Her pastel paintings are inspired by the colour, light and atmosphere, by the general bustle, the smell of oil, coal and steam. Traditional Horse Fairs represent another favourite source of subject material. In complete contrast, she seeks out the wild lonely place of Norfolk, the Scottish mountain, and Kent marshes and coast as subject matter for her watercolours and pastels.
