Welcome to the Website for Liz Barnes

Creator of words and images

Explore original art and thought provoking books, that will take you on an emotional journey.

My passion for words and images should result in my work being thought and emotion-provoking. Whether through poetry or painting, I aim for my work to linger in your mind, perhaps challenging your views or offering new perspectives. Above all, I hope you enjoy experiencing my art and books as much as I enjoy creating them. My approach is accessible, with my poetry often described as 'poetry for people who don't like poetry.'

Please see the poem for the month page and the gallery. 

 Playing Games with Animal Names

Discover my truly lovely children's book, "Playing Games with Animal Names." It's packed with fun rhymes and delightful illustrations that children and adults will adore.

My poetry is completely accessible, it has been referred to as 'Poetry for people who don't like poetry.'

I don't use big fancy words, I use words that evoke emotions and resonate with people.
