ARTIST STATEMENT
Choosing to create harmony and balance in my life, I use photography as a meditative process, consciously creating my own internal landscape. At peace immersed in nature, much inspiration comes from my local coastal environment. It’s here in nature, whilst focused, all distractions fade away, my mind slows down, I come back to the present moment. Calm, composed and focused, I release the shutter as I now bring forth my vision of the world as I see it, the world I choose to consciously create.
BIOGRAPHY
Spending her childhood on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Liza has lived in Bayside Melbourne for many years. Studying art and design, she also worked in the print industry as a graphic designer. Always aspiring to be an artist, inspiration came from the work of William Turner and Jeffery Smart. In 2008 she followed her dream, exploring the art of photography, completing her Advanced Diploma of Photography with an Art Specialisation in 2011.
Since 2011 Liza has regularly exhibited her photographic art and received numerous awards and accolades, achieved through years of dedication to her work. In 2018 Liza was named The AIPP Victorian Landscape Photographer of the Year and she has also been recognised as a Master of Photography by the Australian Institute of Professional Photography.
To date, Liza’s greatest achievement is her own recognition of the freedom she finds, whilst focused behind the lens, as a photographic artist.
CREATIVE PROCESS
With my camera I capture the light, colour and magic of the moment. With photoshop, I work with the light, colour and magic to manifest that which I felt in the moment. As an artist, freedom of expression is paramount as it is through photography I have found my voice. Photoshop is an essential tool that allows me to create authentic emotive works of art that are truly a reflection of who I am.
Printing my work is when the magic really happens. To create a beautiful print is an art unto itself, one that has taken me many years to master. Passionate about crafting my own beautiful pieces of photographic art, many hours can be spent perfecting an image with many test prints produced, before I print my final work of art onto beautiful archival cotton rag paper. Using professional Epson large format printers and pigment inks ensures I create archival quality works of art designed to last for generations to come.
Given the white glove treatment, my artwork is always packed with great care before I send it off with love to its new home.
