Liz McGrath is a local artist, illustrator and teacher who works on programs and projects through the Geelong region. Since early 2020 Liz has created an observational sketch from life every day as part of her @everydaylizmc project, sharing them on Instagram as an expression of gratitude. A selection of these sketches was acquired by the Melbourne Museum, now included in their permanent collection as an insight into one family’s experience of the pandemic.
**Created works will be exhibited, photographed, and digitised images uploaded to the Geelong Regional Libraries website.
