Elizabeth Day Statement 

I create work that depicts the relationships between the natural world and a man made world, through expression and subtle quite moments that capture the viewers imagination. My pastel studies are the foundation to working up values with an emphasis on light in my finished Oil paintings.

Elizabeth Day is a contemporary painter based in South West Somerset, she works primarily in oils and pastels.

Her work is driven by relationships and how the animal world relates to an increasing pinched existence.

For years she taught drawing and painting dogs and horses from life, at this time she was also holding solo shows of her own work, paintings of moorland and wild Exmoor ponies often featured in her work.

Her recent work has been much more studio based which has seen a deeper environmental meaning emerging.

Elizabeth studied in Cornwall at the Newlynn School of Art.
