Contemporary textile artist Liz Moffat, originally from Galashiels in the Scottish Borders, now develops her practice in Central Scotland. Her work is deeply informed by a love of nature and the environment, often incorporating personal memories and shared experiences, which is expressed through text and cursive handwriting. Slow stitch and free-motion embroidery are central techniques within her textile practice, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship and narrative.
Sustainability is a key aspect of her approach, with an emphasis on using found materials and recycling wherever possible. In 2025, she was awarded first prize in a competition run by Treelink Stirling for her wearable art piece By Leaves We Live, which explored themes of environmental impact. She has just graduated from UHI Perth with a first class BA (Hons) Art and Contemporary Practices degree and she is continuing to expand her exploration of textiles, memory, and ecological responsibility. She has most recently contributed to the project 'Retro and Proud' exhibiting at Bellshill Cultural Centre, North Lanarkshire.
She is currently exhibiting ‘The Clockwinder’ at The Old Lock Up Gallery, Derbyshire as part of The Journey until 8th November 2026
