Bio

Liz

Welcome!
Liz, also known as "Landylachs," is a US-based Digital Painter. Her paintings aspire to be both meaningful and beautiful, and she loves creating stories and characters which evoke an emotional presence.

In her client work, every painting Liz creates is individualized to each project, made just for you - each art piece reflecting the time & memory of what went into creating it. She values strong communication and making the process smooth and enjoyable for everyone she works with!

Liz's work includes digital paintings and sketches hand-drawn using a Wacom tablet. She began as a traditional artist drawing with pencil-on-paper and painting with watercolors, and the "hand-drawn" expression by the artist has always been important to her. Because of this, she does not use AI image generation in any part of her workflow, and has no interest in doing so.

Liz is originally from New York state, and has fond memories growing up with her family's Hong Kong cultural traditions while in the US (with a special fondness for HK martial arts cinema, Cantopop, and the tasty, tasty food). She currently resides on the majestic US West Coast, where she's lived for the past several years.
