Collection: Elizabeth Taylor

'I trained as a professional actor and for well over 20 years loved touring the UK and Eastern Europe, driving a van full of actors, props, costumes, puppets and masks, performing accessible theatre in a diverse range of settings in the most beautiful of countries in Europe, and being paid for the privilege. Throughout this time, I worked within the avant-garde style of theatre, pushing the boundaries and creating extraordinary work. Designing and making masks, puppets and props as well as performing visual theatre.

The style of theatre has definitely carried through to my visual art. I love pushing myself and collage is definitely my passion; I can be found upstairs in my studio at Chester Art Centre, tearing bits of fabric, shredding loads of paper, cutting copious amounts of cardboard and transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary!'
