Original Limited Edition
Fine Art Prints and Artist Books

Elizabeth Banfield studied printmaking at the South Australian School of Art (Bachelor of Arts, Fine Art, 1984), and now lives and works in Melbourne.
Elizabeth has won the Print Award at the biennial Swan Hill Print and Drawing Acquisitive Awards for her artist book 'from Loftia Park'. Her work is also held in many private and public collections, including the Art Gallery of South Australia, the National Library of Australia, State Libraries of Queensland, NSW and Victoria, as well as many Regional Galleries throughout Australia. She has been selected as a finalist in many prestigious juried exhibitions such as the National Works on Paper, the Geelong Acquisitive Print Award, the Rick Amor Print Prize, the Silk Cut Award for Linocut Prints, the Libris Award for Artist Books, and the Nillumbik Prize for Contemporary Art.

​Elizabeth's current practice continues to centre around the use of Japanese tissue papers. She is able to make use of their delicate structural qualities to facilitate layering, translucency, pattern and colour mixing. The seemingly ephemeral nature of the paper contributes to her on-going themes of the ever-changing landscape, and our ever-changing memories of it and its associations. (Link to CV)
