Original artwork by Elizabeth Wright

Artist Profile

I have lived in Denmark since 1973 where we farmed and raised our large family.     I came to art later in life at the age of 41 beginning when I attended the local TAFE college to do art courses.  As well I attended a privately run Ceramics course for two years then set up in my shed.  I attended any and every workshop I could find and after some years,  qualified to teach Ceramics at the Denmark, Mt Barker and Albany TAFE colleges.

 I have always wanted to paint and so found an outstanding local artist of many years, by the name of Dez Brennan, who helped me develop my artistic abilities.

 I am captivated by many different forms of art and currently I am using recycled fabrics and cotton rope to make items that allow me to express a myself in an art form which we can use in our day to day lives.  It has been fulfilling to produce a form of art that is practical but also satisfy the artist in me.
