Lizzie Bentley

ABOUT

Lizzie Bentley is a British oil painter based in Stratford-upon-Avon. Working directly from life, her practice is rooted in observation—whether

painting en plein air in the Cotswolds or creating intimate still lifes in her

studio.

Born in Birmingham in 1971, Lizzie studied Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art (Oxford University), and later continued her training at Heatherley’s School of Art, the Royal Drawing School, and studio practice with Jason Bowyer NEAC.

Lizzie’s paintings are exhibited and sold through The White Gallery and The Gallery at the Guild, both located in Chipping Campden, as well as directly from her Stratford-upon-Avon studio. Her still lifes are deeply considered and seasonally inspired:

“I take a very long time setting up a still life to paint. I paint with the seasons and keep an eye on what’s growing locally. I am constantly checking whether the day will be sunny or cloudy. Each still life is dependent on the light conditions. I never make anything up. There is nothing more beautiful than real life.”

Before focusing full-time on painting and printmaking, Lizzie worked for over 25 years in the film and television industry as a Concept Artist and Matte Painter.

While her main focus is now traditional media, she occasionally takes on select

digital projects.

Lizzie is available for commissions, bespoke printmaking, freelance concept art, scenic art, and collaborative work with designers.
