 Prior to painting Lisa was teaching children, a career that allowed her to be creative and imaginative whilst teaching the children in her care. After having her own children, her love affair with painting began. Studying art whilst raising her children, Lisa found artists teaching short courses to learn from. Lisa's whimsical style developed over the next few years.

 

“My inspirations continue to evolve however I do have a few core influences that will always have an effect on me. My children, my passion for colour, fabrics and ever changing fashion and design are a common thread through the span of my painting career, this keeps evolving and building.

 When I was young I had made up a person who lived in a painting that hung in my home. I like to think that my paintings speak to others in this same way. That they evoke stories of beautiful places and happy times.

 I like to source colours and ideas in different places and collate sketches of ideas throughout the year. Photos from holidays, gardens, the beach, colour snippets from magazines and pieces of fabrics combined with fabulous colours help inspire a story to put on to canvas.

 

Lisa’s work is sought after as both commission work and bespoke art pieces. She is represented in Melbourne, QLD, WA and Sydney at the following Galleries:

More recently I have been working on some new, cutting edge, resin works. These are a kaleidoscope of coloured disks arranged thoughtfully across a pristine, white background, creating a harmonious composition that is pleasing to the eye.
