Liz Waddell is an award-winning freelance artist with a degree in Fine and Applied Art from the University of Ulster, Belfast. Her art comes from the heart and is largely based on the natural world. She works in a variety of media, but always ends up going back to colourful acrylic paints.

Liz's most recent work has been alongside Wild Things Keyworth, an organisation working to improve the life chances of local wildlife - birds, hedgehogs, all creatures great and small - and draw public awareness to hedgerows, meadows, woodland and individual mature trees that are their habitat. Liz's artwork promotes conservation and encourages people to care.
