Liz has been interested in drawing and painting from a very young age and after working in a variety of mediums, her art currently focuses on bronze sculpture. Liz is a decendant of New Zealand Maori (Ngati Raukawa, Ngati Huri), and in 2003 she graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Maori Visual Art (BMVA), from Massey University, Palmerston North. Much of Liz’s work reflects this study.
Prior to her BMVA, Liz completed a Bachelor of Science degree (Zoology) at Massey University in 1983 which lead to a Biology Technician position in the Bot Zoo Department (now known as The Ecology Group), where she worked for 18 years. Amongst other duties, Liz was also the Biological Illustrator for the department. This included illustrating extramural study guides, scientific papers, and advertising material. During this time Liz was approached to provide cover illustrations for the NZ Journal of Ecology, a task she has continued for the past 20 years.
Now working from home, Liz still does some contract illustrating. In 1999, as a keen entomologist and naturalist, she produced a book; 'An Illustrated Guide to Some New Zealand Insect Families', published by Manaaki Whenua Press.
