Liz has created a collection of paintings of plants in close detail: uprooted, revealing their complex structures and individual history, and full of visual delight. Although not intended as a scientific study, the paintings bring us to a new relationship with nature.
Liz Miranda’s life as an artist has an international flavour. She was born in Iran, studied in England and France, worked, taught and exhibited, mainly in Brazil, and then returned to England to paint, etch, bring up a family and teach. She continues to teach, concentrating on painting from direct observation. In 2010 Liz exhibited at the Highgate Gallery and in this show her work is, as always, in oil on canvas or wood.
For the past few years Liz has been painting plants in close detail. She likes to work with the whole shape of each plant but also wants to focus on its component parts – roots, stalks, seed-heads, pods, the changes of colour, the texture and thickness of stem with the position on it of the leaves and nodes.
However realistic, her works are not illustrations. Liz wants them to be true but accuracy is not the goal: they are paintings. Painting is the second stage of freezing the potential development of these natural forms; though they were already denied growth when uprooted from the soil.
Her subjects range from modest London weeds to exotic plants, flowers, trees and grasses of the tropics. All are closely observed to reveal their individual integrity.

Hidden Heroes on your doorstep
In Highgate you are never far from a WW1 memorial giving the names of the brave men who gave their lives in this devastating conflict.
Join us for our special exhibition to honor our local heroes supported by the Heritage Lottery.
Over the past months local people aged 8 to 80’s have become heritage detectives led by practitioner D R Corgan. After taking part in research workshops, talks and trips they have created their own WWI exhibition.
This unique, interactive exhibition will be a fitting tribute to our Highgate Heroes. It will give an insight into their WWI experiences from the optimistic call up to the horrors of battle.
Suitable for Ages 6+

We are delighted to welcome Patrick Cullen, who has just won a prize at this year’s prestigious Lynn Painter-Stainers Competition, back to Highgate Gallery. This wide ranging exhibition is inspired by his travels in India, Italy and Transylvania, and also includes portraits, flower studies and paintings of the female nude.
Patrick uses oils and pastels to create an intense and personal response to his subject matter. His work derives from close observation of and interaction with nature, which gives it freshness and vitality. Whether he is concerned with a Tuscan view or an Indian street market scene, the colour, heat and atmosphere are all vividly conveyed. As artist Ken Howard, R.A. has put it, Patrick’s work “speaks directly to us .… He has the impressionist’s ability to fix the mood of a moment,… also his work has that quality which is essential to all great art, the balance between form and content.”
Patrick trained at St Martin’s and Camberwell art schools in the 1970s and is the recipient of many prizes in addition to the recent Lynn Painter-Stainers award, including the Watercolour Prize at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and prizes from the Pastel Society, the Royal Watercolour Society and the New English Art Club, of which he is a member. His paintings are in many collections including the Royal Academy and Sheffield City Art Gallery.
When not travelling, Patrick lives in Stroud Green, and is also known for his paintings of London allotment views.
