Liz Atkin is an artist based at Havelock Studios in Forest Hill.

What a brilliant and creative idea
Nothing too OTT, but catches the eye all the same.

Liz is brilliant, I love the fact that she’s making awareness about Compulsive Skin Picking disorder - she’s an inspiration & a lovely person too

Recently had the pleasure of meeting Liz, and she was utterly charming, as well as being a genuinely talented artist. Her website http://www.lizatkin.com has a wide range of her work, and explains the inspiration behind it.

Met Liz on the train, by chance, this morning and she gave me the #CompulsiveCharcoal sketch she was working on. Lovely to meet someone who does so much good.

Liz is awesome & so down to earth, she’s a complete inspiration

Today’s offering - very cool!

I don’t see it, sorry… I am sure she is lovely but I just see a scribbled frame that resembles a young child’s effort.

I guess that is art for you!

Liz’s mountain art is just mindblowing - the speed at which she draws, and the fact that she’s never been formally trained

Now that is very impressive…

Totally agree with you!

What train does she catch. I must stalk her for one.
