Liz Ackerley CAF meet the artist
My acceptance into the Manchester Academy of Fine Art (MAFA) #art #abstractart #painting
Hello I'm Liz Ackerley a UK-based contemporary abstract mixed media artist. I create paintings about places that help people see the landscape in new and exciting ways. The paintings are abstract or semi abstract. The energy of the places as well as their marks and feel are conveyed through the media. They are dynamic expressive works with a sense of time and place.
In this channel I share my love of mixed media art and show my processes and techniques both out on location in the landscape and back in the studio. I work on paper, in sketchbooks, in journals and on wood and canvas. I share my drawing, mark making and painting processes as I create works-warts and all!
I also share my travel adventures in my campervan and mobile studio, Cassandra. The camper enables me to combine travel and art.
