Specialising in oil painting, her practice denounces traditional perceptions of childhood.

Exploiting instances and objects from her personal history with a dark, often satirical edge; she extinguishes the candle on customarily happy memories.

Working predominantly in oils, Elizabeth “Lillibet” Langley applies a similar painterly approach to charcoal and graphite drawings as well as recently incorporated brush-marked sculpture.

Previously using personal imagery or objects as references, she treated her older paintings as part of a process of self-healing. Now she utilises an ever-building collection of unusual found photos and cinematic or literary sources.

Elizabeth graduated from Falmouth University with a First-Class Fine Arts Degree in 2020 before being awarded a place on the Cultivator Graduate programme.  She has shown in exhibitions nationally including a solo show at That Art Gallery, Bristol.
