Lizzie O'Grady

With a 40-year career that has swung from art publishing, graphic design and the world of art, Lizzie has returned to her first passion—painting—with renewed vigour and a profound perspective shaped by decades of visual exploration. As a self-taught artist, Lizzie has woven her extensive experience in graphic design with an innate skill for capturing the vivid interplay between nature and the constructed environment.

Influenced heavily by the Italian Futurist movement, Lizzie’s work is a testament to the power of movement and the symbiosis of time and space in art. The kinetic energy of the Futurists, coupled with her fascination for modernity, echoes through Lizzie's pieces, which often explore the fluid boundaries between the organic and the artificial. This unique aesthetic tension not only bridges the gap between two contrasting worlds but also imbues her work with a contemporary relevance that resonates with diverse audiences.

Lizzie brings to her canvases not just colours and forms, but a storied history of professional achievements and personal challenges. Each work is a distillation of experiences gathered over four decades, offering viewers a chance to perceive the world through a lens that appreciates both its grandeur and darkness. Through her art, Lizzie invites us to reflect on the beauty of our surroundings, encouraging a dialogue between the viewer and the world they portray.
