Liz Gray

Liz Gray is an Australian-based artist known for her large emotive paintings of the feminine form engaging with nature and, most recently, her new collection of luscious floral works. Merging representation with abstraction in increasing degrees, she conveys the intensity of sensory experiences. Her dynamic technique combines palette knife applied impasto with colour washes which run freely across the canvas. Liz�s work reflects the impermanence and transient beauty of the world we live in, but hope is always firmly present. Liz completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at Rhodes University in South Africa, where she studied under some of the best landscape painters of the country and embraced their large-scale, monumental approach to painting. Australia has been her home since 2006 and she is deeply inspired by its unique combination of stark, rugged beauty and exotic tropical features
