Lizzi Porter
I'm a decorative artist based in London for over 20 years,
a graduate of Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University,
and The Royal College of Art, London.
I have worked all over Great Britain
as well as in Switzerland, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Turkey,
Saudi Arabia, Greece, Ireland, Sri Lanka.and U.S.A.
I enjoy collaborating with clients and contractors
to match the scale of any decorative work.
I can call on a network of artists and talented individuals,
to help realise larger schemes:
a ruined Lebanese city overgrown by trees,
a chinoiserie bedroom or a mural painted on canvas.
Bumble bees swarming through a window
or a few sprigs of lavender, as if dropped on a kitchen floor;
I can paint these alone in a day.
What else can I paint?
Anything you’d like to imagine!
Who do I work for?
Multinational companies to small children,
architects, curators and interior designers.
Previous commisions include:
Vines curling across a copper leafed ceiling in Monte Carlo
Ivory masks and acanthus leaves scrolling around a hallway in Beauville
Spraying wild graffiti in the creative meeting room for
a company headquarters in Cambridge
Researching a coat of arms and then designing a table mat
and the decoration for a dinner service
Flamboyant Chinese peonies climbing over tarnished silver in New Orleans
Painting the Milky Way on the ceilings of a night club
Pinewood graining over all the walls in a drawing room in London
Collaborating with a 12 year old, painting butterflies on her blue bedroom
walls while she reads me Roald Dahl
A morning photographing and playing with dogs in a garden
so that I could paint their portraits in the afternoon.
