"Welcome to my world" by Elizabeth Walker
23rd October 2022
One of our Art Group members Lizzie has recently published a beautiful little book.
Lizzie, who has been part of the Milton Abbas Art Group for many years, has written and illustrated a series of original little stories which take their source from the natural world, the beautiful Dorset countryside and various animals.
Combining her love of watercolour and creative compositions, Lizzie’s book takes us on a journey through a series of twenty charming and whimsical scenarios which are rich with the inner thoughts of animals and their various escapades which include: cunning blackbirds preparing to escape a sneaky tom cat, gannets tiring themselves out fending for their greedy baby, and hungry snails racing each other to get to a juicy cabbage. There is so much to discover on each page.
Lizzie enjoys painting in her little studio which overlooks the beautiful green fields and rolling hills close to Milborne St Andrew, and says:
”Over the years I have experimented with many different styles in my art. During lockdown I settled for fantasy paintings which resulted in me producing a little book.
I think a light bulb switched on in my brain and each morning when I awoke a little creature popped in and said it’s my turn for a story, sometimes they bickered a bit as to whose turn it was. As you will see most of them managed to have their say (although there is still a queue!)”
Lizzie’s book will be available for purchase for £7 during our online exhibition but stock is limited so do send a message through our contact page if you would like to reserve a copy.
