Printmakers Lizzie and Susan Wheeler share a garden studio in Lower Radley, a few miles south of Oxford, where they will be exhibiting a variety of prints alongside the work of potter Isabelle Proffitt.
To get to the studio, turn over the railway bridge in Radley and continue a kilometre along the road until you reach a fork - take the right turning. The studio is on the right just past a horse field and before the redbrick terrace houses. There will be clear signage and plenty of parking. Tea and coffee will be available, and plenty of seating in the garden.
Lizzie works primarily in linocut and woodcut, enjoying the process of stylisation and the element of craftsmanship involved. Her work pays close attention to colour and pattern and harks to the decorative art of the 20th century British printmakers who have informed her sense of design.
Inspiration for Lizzie’s work comes from the natural world, the creatures who inhabit it, and a desire to capture the moments of wonder that are experienced in wilder places.
Lizzie works as a printmaking technician at the Oxford Printmakers Co-operative, and also teaches a variety of courses in printmaking. Her work as a technician has been a driving force for her own experimentation, combining different methods and endlessly playing with ways of creating texture and line.
Lizzie is a multi-award winning member of the Oxford Art Society, and was selected as Henley Festival’s RISE artist in 2022.
Lizzie's work is represented by the following galleries:
- The Jenna Burlingham Gallery, Kingsclere
- The Zuleika Gallery, Woodstock
- The Hancock Gallery, Newcastle
- Kevis House Gallery, Petworth
