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
