Lisa’s vibrant, expressive paintings include references of landscape, flowers and figures. She utilises her sensory and emotional response to subject and place and her work is linked to intuitive mark-making, layering as well as gestural brushstrokes. She primarily creates in water-based acrylics, pastels, charcoal, and collage on canvas, paper, or wood.

Lisa works from her home studio surrounded by the Devon countryside and nearby Jurassic coast; a contrast to her southern African childhood. Lisa has always painted since she could hold a brush – her grandmother painted the sparse expanses of the Namib dunes and her mother still paints in Kalahari, Botswana.

After a career in graphic design in South Africa and London, she settled in the Devon to raise a family and focus on painting. She has always had a deep affinity with nature which serves as a wellspring of inspiration throughout the seasons. Her studies in design, psychotherapy and world travels all influences her art as well.
