One of today’s greatest miniaturists and portrait painters, Elizabeth Meek is the current President of the Royal Miniature Society and a past President of the Society of Women Artists.
Inspired from a child by the great masters, she has developed a consummate skill in portraiture over a period of 40 years. She turned to miniatures in the 1980s and for the past twenty years has created works described as strong, delicate or jewel-like, at range of scales from classic miniatures upwards. In 1995 she won the Royal Society of Miniature Painters Gold Memorial Bowl, the most prestigious award in miniatures.

Gregarious and very social, Elizabeth takes great joy in getting to know her sitters – admitting that art can be a solitary profession. Her style is sympathetic but stunningly realistic, and her passion for people and faces means that when not working on commissions she constantly paints faces and characters which inspire her. Her commissions have ranged from private individuals to royalty including HRH Princess Michael of Kent and HRH the Prince of Wales.
