Sunshine Coast Hinterland Times

Elizabeth Corfe has been a regular exhibitor in Zonta’s annual Women in Art show on the Blackall Range since retiring to the hinterland in Dulong from western Queensland several years ago. She was very happily surprised to be one of last year’s prize-winners, and another year she sold a painting to a visitor from Dubai, so the show provides local women artists a wonderful chance to offer some of their work to the passing gaze of visitors from far and wide. Her work is also represented in public and private collections in England, France, Korea, and New Zealand, as well as Australia.
Elizabeth has been painting, drawing and creating art in some form since childhood, but as happens to most women marriage, work and children pushed it well to the back of her life until now. All things visually creative in just about every medium inspire her, and in an attempt to make up for lost time she enjoys the chance to learn from master artists, both locally and through travel when the chance arises. An artist is always learning, absorbing and exploring different ways of ‘making marks’.
