Corfe, Elizabeth
Elizabeth Corfe lived her formative years at Longreach, followed by 22 years on a property near Roma. She has since relocated to the Sunshine Coast, but has been shaped by a lifetime immersed in the highs and lows of making a living off the land. While being helpmeet to her husband, and caring for family, she found time to develop her painting skills through the Roma Art Group and Flying Arts.
Revisiting the life that is her emotional touchstone, Elizabeth’s evocative landscapes take her viewers with her to her beloved bush. Her connectedness with the land is enticing, both in her realistic portrayals, and in her more abstract works. Her passion for the land is evident.
