As a child, Lizzy Newcomb would sit and watch her dad draw and hand-colour his architectural plans; this inspired her love of art.

Sydney-born and raised, she spent most of her childhood exploring the bushland near her home and began a love affair with nature.

Lizzy has studied nursing, travelled throughout Europe and Scandinavia, and run a business producing handmade ceramic pieces. In 2006 her first solo exhibition sold out and she has held an exhibition each year since.

My Name is Lizzie Flynn (written by Claire Saxby) is her first book.
