I was so glad to finally sit down and say hello to Liz. Was I surprised by her choice? Yes. Did I dance around the house for most of the day before this chat? Also yes. Hope it makes you grin too.
Liz is a community artist and organiser. She has particular interest in the way that an open, creative, inclusive process can be used to encourage the development of ecosystems where all species can flourish. She is committed to developing work which explores how we can take inspiration from the natural world that we are part of to create places and spaces where regenerative cultures can thrive.
She is a Certified Permaculture Educator. In 2022 she launched the UK’s first Full Permaculture Design Course specifically focused on artists and creatives, and is a pioneer in the exploration of ideas around permaculture design, imagination and art.
In a voluntary capacity she is co-founder and co-ordinator for a local community group working to maintain and improve 120 acres of meadows and woodland at the point where the River Roch and River Irwell converge in Bury, North Manchester.
