She is a Curator in the Department of Paintings, Drawings and Printsat the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge.

Elizabeth/Lillibet (b.1998 London) is an artist living in Cornwall with a studio at CAST, Helston. Specialising in oils, Elizabeth is fixated on childhood and the inevitable struggles of growing up, using earlier paintings as part of a process of self-healing. While previously using personal imagery or objects as references, she now uses an ever-building collection of unusual found photos, cinematic, and literary sources. Her works have a foreboding yet often satirical edge; as she extinguishes the candle on customarily happy memories.
