About Lizzie Beere

Lizzie Beere is a contemporary New Zealand painter and ceramicist based in Hawke’s Bay. Working between abstraction and figuration, she is known for large-scale abstract botanical paintings and hand-built ceramics that reimagine the traditional still life through loose forms, layered compositions and intuitive mark-making.

Drawing inspiration from nature, Beere brings ghost-like vessels, vases and botanical references into richly textured abstract backgrounds. Recognisable forms emerge and recede, inviting viewers to explore the space between representation and imagination. Her use of colour, form and composition gives these works a sense of both familiarity and surprise.

Flowers in transition are a recurring source of inspiration. Beere describes her interest as “erupted florals” and “the beauty in their transition and final decay”, an approach that connects her botanical imagery with the changing forms of the natural world.
