LIZZY FORRESTER'S FINE ART STORE
Lizzy FORRESTER is Deborah McNeill's artist name.
Based in the Balearic Islands - known as the Pearl of the Mediterranean, the artist spends much of her time travelling each year, to exhibit world wide.
2018 she exhibited in 2 trips to China, with a solo exhibition as well as the Beijing International Art Fair, Madrid, New York, Tokyo, Guangzhou and Dubai.
'Her luminous and highly textured canvases reflect a deep admiration for the Impressionist painters, placing a strong emphasis on the interplay of light on surfaces. But, Forrester's impetus for painting lies much deeper than a simple desire to render the rays of light as they cascade upon a placid pond or field of poppies. In fact, like a stream of consciousness, poem or impromptu musical composition, Forrester's works serve as expressions of the artist's tightly interwoven awareness of spirit,
Using her own emotional vibration, she abandons 'all thought process', meditating before beginning any creative work, 'attuning' and then, 'getting ego out of the way, letting go to allow spirit to dance'.
Her stunning landscape paintings resonate with a sense of calm and happiness, evidencing the artist's strongly influential spirituality. Her artwork serves primarily as a communicative tool, created by impulse and an inexplicable urge to paint, but also expresses the self-taught artist's innate understanding of colour theory and sophisticated eye for spatial arrangements.'

'I paint to Classical Music and have created paintings to accompany Feng Shui studies: (work is prepared through colour and/or theme associated with energies and / or elements, to balance a certain environment). There is always I hope a subtle energy that reaches out and communicates with the observer. '
Her works form part of collections world wide, and her work has been recognised with a number of awards.
She also works as a 'Spirit Artist' using art as a tool for healing, and at times, working as a medium to provide evidence of Spirit. Please contact her for more information on this work.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, AND YOUR VISIT TO MY SITE
A little about the artist... :-)
Born in the UK, but resident in the Balearic Islands Spain for the last 20 years, Lizzy Forrester the artist decided to finally give up full time employment and 'dedicate myself fully to painting'.
I recently picked up brushes, paints and easel following a spiritual retreat in the summer of 2006, it goes without saying there is a true passion.
Self taught (apart from the basics learnt in school) although with help during childhood, at home as art was always 'around': Dad was, and still is, an accomplished amateur artist, painting in oils: He always encouraged his kids. Despite working professionally in teaching and in other areas over the years, I 've always harboured a great passion for Art, studying Fine Art, Architecture & Interior Design at home, in my own time: A huge all consuming fascination and interest in the great artist's themselves, especially their works, finally surfaced, and firmly took root after a career break in the summer of 2006. Holidays had often been largely organised around major Art Gallery visits and important exhibitions, but since that spiritual retreat, I found I could no longer ignore the nagging creative needs.'
Preferences vary - for style, impressionism, realism and abstract; Main themes being landscape, seascape, cityscapes ... - nature generally. A distinctive spirituality pervades her work, very much the influence of her own spirituality, work and growth. She achieves a certain balance and harmony in colour and perspective no matter how strident or strong the subject matter or her interpretation of it may be, and there is always a haunting softness.
