Liz Hanson was born in Kidderminster in 1950, but moved to Edinburgh in 1969 and has lived in the Scottish Borders for 35 years. Qualified as a medical technician, her career in microbiology was spent between Edinburgh hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. Photography has been a hobby since her teenage years (and still is a passion). Due to redundancy, a small business was started making photographic cards of borders landscapes. This became established, and is still operative to this day, having recently expanded into the production of books. Liz lives in Peeblesshire with her husband. East
