She doesn't like to be called "Lady"



But she is one. Lady Bromley-Davenport to be specific. She was born Elizabeth B. Watts in Oldwick New Jersey into a family of  active artists. Lizzie takes her art very seriously. She has painted all her life and has continued with her studies abroad.

She is married to William ( now Sir William ) Bromley-Davenport and lives with him on his family's estate in Cheshire, England. Lizzie makes it her personal responsibility to decorate or oversee the decorations of every room and event in their stately 200 room " Capesthorne Hall ". Lizzie has a son, a daughter and five grandchildren living in England.

I've known Lizzie for a long time and I think her art is wonderfully unique. She travels a lot and uses the birds, animals, flowers and artifacts of different global regions  in combination with her own fastidious, whimsical and uniquely fashionable renderings of their particular regional landscape.

Her show which opens August 12th will feature these unique paintings and is guaranteed to bring good cheer and high style to all who see it.
