A dreamer, a writer, an artist, a maker.

Lizzie trained in Fashion Design and ran a giftware business before starting a long career in education. It was while working at The Henley College, in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, that she gained a teaching and graphic design qualification and became a lecturer in Art & Design and Photography.
​
During this time Lizzie used her knowledge and skills as an artist to exhibit Art Photography both in the UK and abroad. Though it was being a parent and watching her children growing up that motivated her to write fairy tales, dressing up her children and photographing them to illustrate her ideas.
​
Inspired by wonderful children's programs such as Bagpuss, The Magic Roundabout and Flower Pot Men to name just a few, creating a made-up world seemed a magical progression and as a collector of bric-a-brac and found objects just waiting to be used, building mini film sets turned into a fun and quirky way to now illustrate her stories.
