Elizabeth Parr has been painting on The Lizard Peninsula for many years and is well known in Cornwall as well as in the Cotswolds for her Landscape and Teddy Bear paintings. After losing her husband - and ten months later her only son - she found it difficult to paint.

However, she remarried and is again very happy and painting.
Elizabeth was born in Horsham, West Sussex, but has spent all her adult life in her beloved West Country.

In her teens she attended Horsham School of Art and later a 4 year I.C.S Course in Oils. She is a lover of music and opera as well as enjoying walking which enables her to gather sketches for her paintings.

Work by Elizabeth was accepted by Britain's Painters in 1989, 1990 and 1992 and exhibited and sold in the Mall and Westminster Galleries in London. She has held 15 Solo Exhibitions in the Cotswolds and 17 at Trelowarren House.
