A unique approach, suitable for all
THE JOY OF REPETITION
My roots as an artist are in textiles and printing. As a textile designer I am obsessed with pattern and repetition. I believe that repetition is a meditative practice, whether you are making a screen print, putting marks on a page, moving through vinyasa or simply breathing.
In my experience, repetitive making is a type meditative flow that calms the mind and provides an escape from the fast pace of life.
I have a unique approach to creative expression that’s suitable for everyone. I combine repetition through breath with the movement of the hand in artistic exercises, like scribble drawing and block printing.
Mindfulness is an essential part of these workshops and indeed any creative practice. When we are present in the moment, we feel calmer and are more open to receiving inspiration.
The result is not necessarily a work of art, but a sense of calm and wellbeing and an openness to creative inspiration.
“I loved the workshop with Liz. She is amazingly creative and I noticed that even the people who are not be strong in drawing and painting end up with really interesting pieces of artwork.”
