I am a Shrewsbury based illustrator working under the name Lizzistration. My work celebrates the people, places and everyday landmarks that shape my life. As a proud Salopian, I draw inspiration from local architecture, pubs, sporting culture and family connections, capturing scenes that hold shared meaning within the community. I work digitally using Procreate, building images through layered line and colour to create vibrant compositions that balance structure with spontaneity.
My illustrations reimagine familiar buildings and moments, using bold colour palettes and transparent overlays to evoke collective memory while reflecting the town’s evolving landscape. The work feels both contemporary and nostalgic, offering a fresh perspective on places people think they know.
Alongside my full-time role as an art teacher, I have developed a home studio where I continue to expand my practice. I am currently exploring ways to translate my digital illustrations into printed and clay-based outcomes, extending my imagery beyond paper. Although my work is rooted in personal experience, it aims to resonate widely through a strong sense of place, identity and community.
