| About
Pintados
The
painting 'Pintados'
Origins
Pintados.co.uk
was developed by artist Liz Allen in Brighton in 2000.
The website was named after an area in northern Chile called
Pintados de Atacama, where Liz visited in 1997, and
which had inspired a series of paintings. The Pintados
de Atacama are pre-Colombian drawings which have been
scratched into the surface of the mountains there, and they
include some fascinating images.
Pintados
Healing Art
In
2002 Liz met Keith Beasley, a teacher and author of Reiki
and self-development topics. Comparing and contrasting art
and healing as paths for personal growth they developed the
web site, and a range of workshops, together under the banner
Pintados Healing Art.
In
2005 they moved, to a new home in Portugal. They found
and renovated the farmhouse which became Quinta
Pintados. Here they merged the inspiration, peace and beauty
of the Algarve with their
healing and teaching abilities to offer not just workshops and
colourful paintings but retreats.
In
2009 Keith moved to Wales to undertake postgraduate research
(for more, follow link above). Although Keith and Liz are no
longer together (the reason for the sale) they remain good friends
and supportive of each other's new lives.
