 Liz Clarke and Dave Marsh met at an art show in 2004 and immediately became friends. They soon discovered that they had both always wanted to make a living from art, so to see if people liked their work, they started attending local art and craft fairs, with very positive results. The friendship soon blossomed into a romance and after many years together, they got married in 2013 and Liz became Liz Marsh.
