Elizabeth Sporne paints – mostly portraits – at her studio in the Art & Vintage Quarter of Bridport, a small but vibrant market town on the Dorset coast.
She depicts interesting individuals, both private and public, and welcomes commissions.
The studio is open to the public most Saturdays 11am-3pm and on the last Sunday in the month March-October (with Bridport Vintage Markets).
Please explore the website for examples and ideas, and contact for further details.
