The family of Elizabeth Brown, a beloved artist described as a "dear friend to many," have paid tribute after she died at the scene of a crash in Devon.
Brown, from Taunton, was described as "strong, bright, intuitive, and warm." The 69-year-old mum-of-two "loved colour and creating big, bright paintings" and will be remembered by everyone who knew her.
In a tribute, her family said: "Liz leaves behind her children Camilla and Alastair, her partner Simon and her brother Andrew. Last year, Liz became a proud grandmother to Circe.
"Liz was an artist. She loved colour and created big bright paintings that reflect her personality: strong, bright, intuitive, and warm.
"She had a beautiful final day, spending time with Simon and her cockapoo Bertie, swimming at Ness Beach in the sunshine.
"We would like to thank everyone that has sent kind messages of support during the difficult weeks following. We will continue to remember her for the amazing woman she was every day."
Emergency services were called to the A379 Torquay Road after a silver-coloured motorcycle and a pedestrian were involved in a crash.
Brown died at the scene, police said. Enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the crash are ongoing.
A statement from Devon and Cornwall Police said: "If anyone witnessed the collision or has relevant dash-cam, please contact Devon & Cornwall Police on 101 or via our website quoting reference number 50260172663."
