Lizzie Parry is a mixed media and digital artist living in South East London, UK. She has been shortlisted for several awards for her collages and has completed portrait commissions for clients in the UK and overseas. She received a BA in Painting from Camberwell College of Art, UAL in 2016.
Having decided to move away from painting during the pandemic of 2020 Lizzie now works predominantly in prepared paper collage. She has taken a process which is often used as a preparatory exercise in painting, and expanded it into a form of slow painting. It is studio based, carefully considered and process driven.
In contrast, drawing on an iPad in the Procreate app is speedy, intuitive and can be done en plein air, in the passenger seat of a car or on a train. This provides her with a a good complement, or antidote, to the discipline of collage.
