As a community arts worker Liz has worked on a variety of arts projects in schools, colleges and with different types of community groups, ranging from people with disabilities to ethnic minority women's projects. She teaches photography and tape/slide and its application in a wide variety of contexts, from slide projection for theatre and dance to large scale outdoor screenings of tape/slide productions

Harnessing her great enjoyment of photographing people, Liz also creates documentary photographs for theatre, dance and community projects and events; promotional images and CD covers for musicians; as well as informal portraiture such as the fisheye prints seen on this site.

 

Having recently produced a body of work entitled ' Walled Garden' for exhibition, Liz is interested in taking these abstract images further, possibly into the field of textiles or fabric design.
