Liz Douglas was born and brought up in Angus, laterly residing in the Scottish Borders. She studied Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art and completed her Postgraduate in Fine Art, Painting in 1993.
Liz Douglas was influenced by landscape, memory, poetry and music. Her work grew from a direct interpretation of the landscape to a sensory understanding of site. She created 'visual environments' by employing pigments, print and contemporary media. Her work can be understood as a reflection of her dialogue with the unpredictable natural world.
As a keen resercher, Liz collaborated with scientists and environmentalists to deepen her knowledge of the natural world. Notably, investigating microscopic elements using an electron microscope to reveal structures and forms from graptolite fossils, alpine plants, tree and plant pollen material.
