Liza Mackintosh is a multifaceted artist and garden designer based in East Sussex. With a background in Fine Art, Liza applies her artistic knowledge to the way she composes garden designs.

In 2022, Liza began gardening, initiating a new understanding of the botanical world that has long inspired her artwork. Following her curiosity, Liza completed an RHS level two in practical horticulture at Hever castle followed by a Postgraduate Diploma in Garden Design. Liza now creates thoughtfully designed gardens and planting schemes that reflect her understanding of the use of colour, form and composition to create an atmosphere within a garden. Her experience as a painter and her creative outlook deeply inspire her garden creating process.

In her studio, Liza creates both quiet botanical drawings and calming abstract landscapes, both capture her fascination with the multitude of colour, texture and detail within the natural world around her. Drawing has always been the underpinning to her work and the pull to put pencil to paper has led to a collection of drawings largely inspired by the plant forms within her own garden. 

Woven through drawing, painting and garden making is Liza’s deep rooted desire to capture and create a strong sense of place.

Liza is available to discuss her artwork as well as Garden Design to improve and develop your own garden. Liza has a collection of paintings available from Highgate Contemporary gallery, London.
