Elizabeth Martyn travelled to Australia from London in 1981. She studied Fine Art in Bristol, England, then worked as a theatre designer and performer appearing at the Edinburgh Festival from 1977 until 1979.

Drawing, painting, sculpture and theatre have been part of her life for many years. She paints mainly in watercolour, using pure colours with luminous intensity. The use of colour for healing forms the basis of her work. Her varied subject matter ranges from still life to archetypal images of boats, birds, water and mythological beasts.

She has works in several healing centres, as well as private collections in England and Australia.

Works may also be viewed by appointment at her Camberwell studio, where she also teaches life drawing and painting classes.
