Lizzie draws inspiration from her upbringing in the ancient landscapes of Wiltshire, creating intricate rugs from wool. Her practice is rooted in folklore and the personal memories of growing up surrounded by nature. Through her work, she evokes a sense of the otherworldly, blending traditional stories with reflections on environmental loss and the fragility of the natural world.

For several years, Lizzie worked in oils, exploring colour, texture, and detail. In 2020, she began hand-tufting rugs, translating her painterly approach into textiles. Each piece starts with watercolour studies and photographs, which are developed and manipulated through digital collage to expand the imagery. These studies then evolve into tactile works, with every tufted thread carefully placed, reflecting time, attention, and a deep connection to the material.

Lizzie’s rugs are spaces where imagination and reality meet. They invite viewers to consider human relationships with the natural world and the stories it holds. Each piece embodies her fascination with folklore, the passage of time, and the interconnectedness of nature, memory, and craft.
