Lisa is drawn to create a painting from her own life experience in which the moment creates an emotion of awe and wonder at the scene beheld. This may be inspired by varying subjects from people to landscape to interesting objects of beautiful colour, shape, or form.
Painting in a representational style, she loves the interplay of light and colour, sharp lines and soft lines, and warmth and coolness. Oil is her favourite medium, allowing her to paint thin transparent layers or thick expressive marks. She both adds and removes paint using brush, palette knife, paper towel, plastic card, and even her fingers sometimes scraping the paint back down.
