Liz Bestic trained at West Surrey College of Art and Design and Exeter College of Art in the mid seventies before switching careers to become a journalist on the Sunday Times. Art has always remained an important part of her life however, and in 1992 she gained a diploma in printmaking at the college of Sir John Cass in Whitechapel.

As a member of Cuckoo Farm Workshops near Colchester she began to focus on her particular printmaking technique of collagraphy using found objects and textures.

Since moving to Suffolk she has managed successfully to combine painting, printmaking and writing and much of her artwork is inspired by her travels in Europe and Africa. Recent visits to the rugged coastline of Nova Scotia and the untamed Seaweed Coast of Finistere in Northern France feature strongly in her work.

She is a member of Sudbourne Printmakers and has had recent exhibitions at the Aldeburgh Gallery and Peter Pears Gallery in Aldeburgh. She currently exhibits in the Taplin Gallery in Woodbridge, the Kesgrave Gallery in Ipswich and the Buckenham Gallery, Southwold.
