ELIZABETH COCHRANE

BIOGRAPHY

Elizabeth Cochrane studied Foundation Course in Art and Design at Manchester Polytechnic and Fine Art The University of Newcastle upon Tyne where she was awarded the John Christie prize for painting and the Oliver Hicks Memorial prize. She has been exhibiting and selling her paintings for over twenty years and has her work in private collections worldwide. She came to Tuscany to paint in 1995 and organised watercolour courses for beginners in Pergo near Cortona. She moved there in 1997 and has been painting and exhibiting her work in Tuscany since then. Elizabeth is primarily a landscape painter influenced by the French Impressionists and Turner, she found the combination of the light and rhythms of the landscape of Tuscany the perfect enviroment for her work. In her watercolours, she seeks to depict fleeting moments, sunsets, rolling clouds, misty sunrises and the effects of light. In her oils, she seeks to depict the rich textures, colours and shapes of the landscape described by dark shadows and intense light. Elizabeth now lives in Montisi , which is part of the Comune di S.Giovanni, in the region of Siena.
