About
Hello, I’m Elizabeth.
As a professional muralist and fine artist, I’ve been expertly transforming spaces with my intricate, patterned artwork in Australia and internationally for many years now.
My passion for creating beautifully detailed, bold & nostalgic artworks has resulted in a style that has become uniquely recognisable; whether it’s on canvas or concrete, and has seen me being profiled as the feature artist in Grand Designs Australia Magazine this year.
I’ve loved working with many different types of clients over the years; from bars, restaurants, schools and councils to street art projects, private commissions and everything in between, with my artwork bringing a vibrant splash of beauty and colour to their spaces and immersive experiences for their own clients, students and the community.
I’d love you to get in touch if you have a project to discuss or a collaboration idea.
