About Mary
British painter Mary Liddell lives and works near Bath, England. She is the great great grandniece of Alice Liddell – the original Alice in Wonderland. Mary studied at the Chelsea School of art and Central School of art in London in the 1980s under the tutelage of renowned visionary and surrealist painter Cecil Collins.
She returned to Bath in 2013 after living in Wellington, New Zealand for 5 years where the clarity of light and intense colour had a profound influence on her work. Colour has always been a primary concern of her works in both oil and watercolour. Mary likes to work “alla prima” in landscape, and from live subjects, fruit and flowers and everyday objects.
