Liz Lees only paints what she sees.
She quickly records these occasions with a reminder, ‘brain photo’.
Soon after, the memory becomes a quick line drawing
Captured! Breathe! Recorded. Saved.
Characters and events need thinking about before they become oils or acrylics - structure, colours, medium, size
