I am a contemporary visual artist working across public art, installation, sculpture, printmaking, painting and mail art. My practice explores how art circulates, accumulates meaning and creates connection through everyday systems of exchange. I am particularly interested in work that moves beyond the gallery into public space, inviting encounter, participation and shared attention.

Working under my artist persona, LizzieLaLa, I use bold colour, repetition and play as deliberate strategies rather than surface effects. Delight sits at the centre of my practice as a way of opening space for curiosity, generosity and connection. I have always delighted in being different. I am drawn to making work that resists sameness through material choices, scale, movement and tone.

Public art is a vital part of my practice. I am motivated by the possibility of creating work that is encountered unexpectedly in everyday life, where people do not need to seek out art in order to experience it. Working in public space allows my practice to engage diverse audiences directly, transforming ordinary environments into places of surprise, play and connection.

Interactivity is fundamental to how my work operates. I am interested in artworks that invite touch, movement, exchange and response, allowing meaning to emerge through participation rather than observation alone. In this way, authorship becomes relational, shaped by how people encounter, handle and share the work over time.

In many art contexts, particularly exhibition settings, children are an invisible audience. They are implicitly asked to be still, silent and hands-off - expectations that run counter to how many children naturally engage with the world. I am interested in what becomes possible when this assumption is gently unsettled. I am inspired by children’s joy, enthusiasm, spontaneity and instinctive capacity for creative thinking and by the way they respond readily to colour, scale and movement. Designing with and for children in mind keeps my work active, embodied and generous,. It offers a way of reimagining art encounters as interactive, welcoming and alive.

My approach to creativity is informed by a deep sense of wonder and responsibility toward the world. I understand making as both an act of creation and an act of attention: to people, to place and to what we choose to bring into being. My faith shapes this orientation quietly, grounding my commitment to joy, generosity and care, while allowing the work itself to remain open to interpretation.

Through my work, I seek to offer moments of lightness, generosity and shared attention. I am interested in how colour, play and participation can create small disruptions in the everyday, inviting people to pause, smile and engage differently with their surroundings. Whether encountered in public space or through intimate formats such as postcards, my work asks simple but open questions about connection, care and delight. It invites audiences of all ages to step in, take part and discover what unfolds.
