This vibrant gouache design, created by Australian artist Elizabeth 'Betty' Boyd in 1936, showcases her talent for textile design.

The composition is dynamic and engaging, with swirling shapes and contrasting colours that create a sense of movement and energy.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Elizabeth 'Betty' Boyd

Elizabeth 'Betty' Boyd (1908-2007) was an Australian painter, printmaker, and ceramicist, celebrated for her vibrant depictions of the Australian landscape and her contributions to the Antipodeans Group. Boyd’s artistic journey began at a young age, influenced by her artistic family, including her brothers Arthur and Guy Boyd. However, Betty carved her own distinct path, developing a style characterised by bold colours, simplified forms, and a deep connection to the natural world. While often overshadowed by her more famous brothers, Betty Boyd was a formidable artist in her own right. She was one of only two women to sign the Antipodeans Manifesto in 1959, a group that championed figurative art against the rising tide of abstraction. Her work of this period, such as 'The Letter' (1958) shows a mastery of form and colour, with each element contributing to the overall narrative. Boyd's legacy extends beyond her paintings and prints. Her ceramics, often decorated with native flora and fauna, reveal a playful and experimental side to her artistic practice. Today, Boyd's works are held in major Australian collections, a testament to her enduring contribution to Australian art history and her unique perspective on the Australian landscape.
