Elizabeth Donaldson

Elizabeth Donaldson is a self-taught digital artist based in the village of Arnside in the South Lake District. After ten years of owning a local gift shop, she began designing her own ranges of greeting cards—an experience that soon grew into creating digital artworks and producing art prints, focusing on her local area.

Inspired by the surrounding coastline, and woodlands, Elizabeth’s work explores the relationship between the landscape and the living, aiming to convey the feeling of space, freedom and calm.

Her images celebrate the peace and beauty found in the local scenery. She works from home, using digital photography and sketches and brings her ideas to life using Adobe Illustrator.

Alongside her artwork, she undertakes commissions and, most recently has worked on a design to celebrate the return of the clock to Carnforth Station, made famous by the 1945 film Brief Encounter.

Currently working on a print inspired by White Creek at New Barns.
