Liz Butler RWS ARCA

English miniature and landscape painter in watercolours.

Liz Butler was born in Cumbria and educated at Liverpool College of Art and the Royal College of Art. She is well known for her miniature paintings of gardens, and her use of pure watercolour, which she has always favoured for its brilliance and transparency. More recently she has expanded her scale to encompass larger scale subject matter. She has always been interested in man's role in changing the countryside and nature, which has recently led her to introduce figures into her new paintings of Morocco and Zanzibar.

She was elected an Associate of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1996 and a full member in 2000.

Her work is in several major collections including the Government Art Collection, Abbot Hall Gallery, Kendal, the Royal Collection, Harewood House and the National Postal Archive.

Grasse is the only subprefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region on the French Riviera. Considered the world's capital of perfume, Grasse obtained two flowers in the Concours des villes et villages fleuris and was made Ville d'Art et d'Histoire (City of Art and History).
