About
Lizza Littlewort is originally from Cape Town, where she grew up among the ancient forests of Table Mountain.
Lizza now resides in California. She uses oil paint to make gently piercing comments about society’s struggles with exploitation of each other and the natural environment. Her working process engages with experimental use of paint which contributes to a surreal quality that helps her express our strange and alien relationship with the global conditions we face.
Lizza Littlewort was awarded a post-graduate diploma in Fine Art from Cape Town University in 2000. She also holds degrees in Architecture and Literature, both of which have helped deepen her understanding of thought-provoking art in built environments.
