Liz Payne
ARTIST STATEMENT
Liz Payne is an artist living and working in the inner city of
Sydney, Australia. Using a variety of media from pencil and
paint to textiles, beads and embroidery, Liz’s work
explores abstraction through colour, shape, texture and
form. A question of perception and expectation is a
considered component in Liz’s work, explored not only of
materials and medium, but the expectations of life and the
traditions of the everyday, and there is always a pursuit of
breaking the rules from the predicable and conventional.
