Art

Welcome to my creative space.

Here you can explore more about my art practice and the ideas that inspire my work. Many of the pieces displayed here are available for sale, and I also take on commissions from time to time for those looking for something personal and unique.

My work is rooted in mindfulness, memory, and the interplay between body, mind, and spirit. Each piece is an invitation to pause, reflect, and connect with the present, while celebrating the beauty and fragility of the world around us.

If you’re interested in purchasing a piece or discussing a commission, please feel free to get in touch — I’d love to create something meaningful for you.

Artist Statement — Liz Vowles

Liz Vowles creates abstract paintings that explore the relationship between inner experience and embodied movement. Informed by her long-standing yoga practice, her work investigates the balance between control and surrender, structure and flow.

Working primarily with acrylics, Liz builds her compositions through layers of colour, texture, and gesture. Circular and spiral forms often recur, suggesting cycles of breath, energy, and renewal. Each painting develops intuitively, guided by a deep sensitivity to rhythm and sensation rather than predetermined form.

Through her process, Liz seeks to translate the unseen — the shifting states of emotion, presence, and energy — into visual language. Her work invites a contemplative response, offering space for stillness and reconnection.
