Elizabeth Bessant is an award-winning artist based in London. She began her career as a silkscreen printmaker in the 1980s, and regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, galleries across the UK, and in New York, Los Angeles and Paris. In 1990 she was listed in Who’s Who in International Art. Her journey has taken her through 28 years as a couture designer where fashion became her medium of expression, dressing society women, couture brides and celebrities. In 2020 Elizabeth returned to her artist roots and in 2022 appeared on Sky Arts “Landscape Artist of the Year”. Her latest bird paintings have received critical acclaim, being selected for the Federation of British Artists Annual Exhibition, and the Society of Graphic Fine Art’s 105th Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London. Her recent work celebrates the vivid beauty of exotic birds. Drawing upon the historical use of birds in textile and homeware design, she has juxtaposed realistic avian imagery with the fantastical elements often found in home decor. In 2018 Elizabeth was elected a Fellow of The Royal Society of Arts, recognising her contribution to the arts over many years.
