There is little of the conventional or academic about Elizabeth Durack's portraits and studies.

Her primary concern was to capture the spirit and essence of a person. This she achieved via an innate empathy with her subjects, skilful draughtsmanship and inventive use of media.

As with most of her work, Elizabeth's portraits fall within a category of their own.

Human beings and their idiosyncracies remained a source of inspiration throughout her life. Portraits frequently incorporate full figures, placed within a distinctive setting.
