Elizabeth Tyler
Information about the artist 

We have the joy to present you a real friend of the nature, Elizabeth Tyler. Though now a resident of Sweden Elizabeth Tyler was born in England and educated at art college there. She has been a professional artist for four decades and exhibits her artworks regularly at galleries and art museums in Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

She is the author of “Akvarelbogen” (The watercolour book) published by Gydendals publishing house in Copenhagen, 2005. Elizabeth Tyler often finds her subject matter in a small area of a stony beach and the borderline between the sea and the shore is a symbolic and important source of inspiration for her.

Here we can find the artist making the final touches on one of her prints. A lithograph can consist of 8 colours and each colour has to be separately painted or drawn on a piece of film before printing.

Elizabeth Tyler also paints in acrylic paintings and watercolour, and she master the techniques of etching, aquatint, mezzotint and linocut.

"She is amazing in her talent to capture the smallest details in nature into a compelling composition in form and colour. Even though realistic the picture leaves the door open for the viewers own fantasy and personal art experience"
Ann-Chritine Björkman in the Zontamagazine, Finland

To own a "Tyler" is more than an investment in art. It is an investment in a peaceful mind.
