Liz Rowland illustrations have and air of nostalgia about them. Relying on gouache, with a touch of watercolor and acrylic, her style of illustrating is naive, allowing simple shapes and patterns to guide her work. \u201cI\u2019m an incredibly nostalgic person,” admitted Rowland in an interview with M\u0101goa Magazine, adding that her sense of nostalgia influences her color palettes as she strongly associates places with particular colors. \u201cI\u2019ll usually make notes of color combinations and refer back to them later,\u201d she says.\n\n\n\n

An observer of the world around her, her art should be seen in its social context. Based in London, Rowland has been moving around quite a lot in the past few years, exploring different cultures both in person and on paper. \u201cI am interested in culture and identity, the different ways we live and celebrate the things that make us so diverse,\u201d she says.\n\n\n\n
