Elisabeth Keeley

Liz Keeley Studied scientific illustration, a combination of natural history and medical illustration at Middlesex Polytechnic, where she met her husband Jason, a graphic designer and artist.

After graduating she freelanced for a number of years illustrating children’s books, nursing manuals and magazines before becoming a mum. Painting went on the back burner for a while but when her daughter started school she returned to painting but instead of using watercolour with its meticulous attention to detail, she turned her hand to oil painting. This enabled her to paint much more freely and spontaneously than she had done for years.
