Wood engraver, figure painter and illustrator, Elizabeth Rivers was born in
Hertfordshire, and studied at Goldsmith's College, London and later at the RA. She studied under André L'Hote in Paris, whose
influence led to a long association with Evie Hone's stained glass studio in Dublin. She came to Ireland in 1935, and apart
from the war years and a short period in 1955 she spent the rest of her life living and working in this country, finding inspiration
among the mountains and villages of Connemara.
