Artworks by Elizabeth Westcott

Elizabeth Westcott is a British contemporary landscape artist. In her art studio in Monmouthshire, she creates original mixed-media paintings on deep canvas.

Inspired by gardens, wild flowers, meadows and trees, Elizabeth paints scenes that she has observed in the British countryside. From these she creates compositions that include native grasses, flowers, seed-heads, and distant hedgerows, set against calm open skies.

Elizabeth uses a warm neutral colour palette, with muted accents. She uses chalky blues and misty greys for the skies, moss greens for distant trees, and olive greens with hay golds for the fields. Flower details are often painted in grey-violet, dusty rose, sunlit coral, butter-yellow, or cornflower blue. Clay and peat browns ground the scene.

With experience, she has developed her own painting techniques, using brushes, pallet knives, and other tools to make varied marks. She uses layering and splatter techniques to create texture and depth. Many of her paintings are finished with highlights in gold-dust, gold-leaf or silver-leaf.

As a child, growing up in England, she developed an early fascination with the quiet beauty of everyday landscapes. She often refers to the idea that flowers can hold a personal meaning, similar to the way that a place can hold a personal sense of belonging.

Elizabeth studied art at Cheltenham College in Gloucestershire. That art foundation shaped not only her technical curiosity, but also her instinct to look closely: to notice the subtle transitions between greens, the soft boundary between sky and land, and the marks that make the subjects feel alive, rather than simply observed.

Since 2012 Elizabeth has consistently exhibited at several galleries in England and Wales. These include Victoria Fearn Gallery in Cardiff, CRIC Gallery in Crickhowell, and Brownston Gallery in Devon. Several of her artworks have won art prizes, and others have been featured in Artfinder ‘staff pick’ online collections.

Her artworks have been collected all over the world, including in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Australia.
