Liz Moffat was born in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders. A retired librarian she now lives and works in Central Scotland. Her love of nature and the environment feeds into her art practice. She uses memories and life experiences in her work, her own and those around her and often adds text. Her use of slow stitch and free motion embroidery reflects this. 

As a textile artist, she likes to use found materials and recycle where possible.  

Liz gained first prize in a recent competition run by Treelink Stirling with her wearable art piece ‘By Leaves We Live’, which focussed on environmental impact. She is currently working towards the graduate showcase in UHI Perth, where she is studying for her Honours degree.
