Lizzie Sanders: 2nd Feb 1950 – 1st August 2020
It is with deepest sadness that we at Artist Partners announce the passing of our dearest friend and artist Lizzie Sanders. Lizzie joined Artist Partners in 1972 as a photographer and archivist, having earlier studied graphic design at Maidstone College of Art, she worked amongst AP’s great talents, where she honed her illustrative skills to become a very well established illustrator in her own right working in publishing, advertising, and editorial. She was also an important part of the Association of Illustrators as a committee member and helped to improve illustrators rights.
Lizzie, had many talents including painting, illustrating, she also achieved a MA in Modern History at Kings College, history became her main interest which she combined with her graphics skills and accomplished and produced “The Historic Landscapes of Audley End”.
Four years ago Lizzie was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, but despite that devastating news she continued to work for her community, with such determination and was utterly resolute to fight the illness, that she had been so cruelly dealt.
Even up to last year Lizzie organised an arts festival in her village raising a considerable sum of monies for several charities. Earlier she had also made a film using archival material showing the human side of the village from the 1900’s to today. Saffron Walden Gibson Library benefitted from eleven bound volumes of her research material for the village history; this together with ten animated short cinema films advertising the library.
Lizzie as an illustrator produced many recognisable images including Betty and Taylor’s Yorkshire Tea Packaging, book covers too numerous to mention, she worked and collaborated on many projects with her husband Brian Sanders including and creating beautiful pop up books.
Lizzie will be remembered by us all as a wonderful and phenomenal woman, and those touched by her will never forget her. Our heartfelt thoughts are with her husband Brian Sanders (Sandy) and her dear family at this sad time

EXHIBITION OPENS MAY 12 2017
LEVER GALLERY, 153 -157 Goswell Road, London EC1V 7HD
A celebration of the work of Brian Sanders, the leading British Illustrator, who rose to prominence in 1960s London. As a member of Artists Partners he created work for most major UK magazines, from Sunday Times to Nova, for advertising campaigns such as Ford, Phillips and the British Army, and for film posters including ”Oh What A Lovely War”, “Paint Your Wagon” and “Lady Sings The Blues”. During 1965 he was appointed by Stanley Kubrick to paint and draw the filming of “2001; A Space Odyssey”. His work provides a beautiful and remarkable insight into one of the most celebrated science fiction movies of all time. In 2011, Sanders re created his early style of work and captured 1960’s New York Madison Avenue in a poster and DVD cover for Mad Men Series 6.
