Elizabeth Primmer is a contemporary Australian Artist
working from her studio in the Hunter Valley, NSW. Drawn to the natural world
and its paradoxes of fragility and resilience, stillness and flux, she creates
work in which memory, the felt experience, and imagination converge to evoke
feeling through gestural mark and colour. Place itself plays a pivotal role in
Elizabeth’s energetic and expressive oil paintings, informed by her formative
years spent on the coast and by two decades living in NSW’s central west.
Elizabeth was most recently named a finalist in the Hornsby
Art Prize and has previously been a finalist in the Hunter’s Hill Art Award,
the Calleen Art Award, and the Mission to Seafarers Award, where she was also
shortlisted in the PB Towage People’s Choice Award. Her work is held in public
and private collections both nationally and internationally.
