Liz Whiteside is a weaver and tapestry artist based in Newcastle. Her background is as a professional artist - using charcoal, pastels and acrylics - in portrait, animal and landscape work. Now she has transferred that knowledge; using colour blending techniques to 'paint' with multiple fine threads. She describes her work as 'intuitive' and specialises in small scale intricate tapestries where she likes to push the boundaries of what can be done in a small space.
