Liz Whiteman Smith is a London-based printmaker who creates colourful multi-layered screenprints. She works from drawings and photographs, using negative space and precise registration to create crisp colourful prints. Liz’s work combines playful prints to make people smile with prints celebrating her home city of London. She studied Mathematics at the University of St Andrews and uses these concepts to create the patterns that make up her successful series of colourful dancing blue footed booby birds. Her ‘Rainbow Booby’ print was hung in the 2024 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and she was delighted to sell the whole edition of one hundred prints in just three days. Her London work focuses on the juxtaposition of old and new architecture, incorporating the history of the city with the constant evolution and dynamism of the new that mixes, merges and develops every single day. Her quirky series of much-loved London pubs celebrates their importance to generations of local communities. She brings their stories to life by using a detail from their history as a motif in the background. An elected member of the Southbank Printmakers Gallery, Liz has work in the Victoria and Albert Museum archives. She has also exhibited widely both nationally and internationally. Her work has been selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition,  Royal Society of Painter Printmakers Exhibitions and the ING Discerning Eye Exhibitions. BA (Hons.)
