After specialising in Drawing and Painting, Liz Knox graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1971. She spent years bringing up her sons and lecturing in fine art, with little time to paint. In 2003, Knox decided to leave lecturing to paint full time and on that same day, was awarded the Aspect Prize. She now exhibits throughout Britain, with regular solo exhibitions in London. Other recent awards include The Bessie Scott Award at PAI 2004 and The University of Paisley Award 2006.

She is included in the second edition of 'The Dictionary of Artists in Britain since 1945' by David Buckman and her painting, "Retrospection", was selected for the cover of "Paraphernalia", a book of poetry by Joanne Limburg, published by Bloodaxe Books in January 2007.

Working mainly in oils, Knox creates a carpet of thoughts and artefacts, often combining exterior and interior settings.

Her work is in many private and corporate collections, including The Royal Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh, Aspect Capital Ltd., London, ARA Interior Architectural Consultants, London and Biggart Baillie solicitors, Glasgow.

"Knox has gone on to become one of Scotland's most collectable contemporary artists……" Jan Patience, The Herald, June 2007.
