Bio

Hello! Welcome to my shop!

I am a textile artist living in South Wales in the UK in a Victorian house on the edge of a small city with my husband and three teenage boys.

I make fabric postcards, small quilts and silk scarves using dyeing, painting and screen printing. I got into art in about 2001 when I took a City & Guilds course in patchwork and quilting and we learnt about design, dyeing and all sorts of different things besides stitching.


Rushing hither and thither in our daily lives, there are so many little details we miss. The glistening raindrop on a branch, the way a leaf hangs, sparkling streets after rain.

I try and capture some of those moments in my artwork: the wonder of the beautiful world all around us, little vignettes into eternity.....

I love working with layers: layers of fabric, paint, dye, adding colours, taking away colours, building up those layers to create depth and meaning in each piece of art I make.

Most of my work uses fabric which I have dyed, painted or otherwise altered myself. I use a variety of fibres depending on the effect I want to achieve, including cotton and silk.

My work has been exhibited in the UK and the US and you can read my blog at www.lizplummer.com/blog.


The pound has gone down against the dollar so I've put a lot of my prices down!! It's a great time to buy original art from the UK!!!


I am a proud member of the Boomers, EcoEtsy, Interior Design, UK and VAST Street Teams and also of Worldwide Women Artists, an international collective of women artists showing and selling our work online. To see more great original art, search WWAO on Etsy!
