She creates idiosyncratic abstract paintings, sculptures, and installation art that are highly textural, using objects and narratives from her lived experience. Her work entertains the edge between the art space of galleries and the domestic architecture of personal life. Cultivating a spiritual connection to her materials, Lisa considers the accumulation of colour, time, and emotion in physical layers and moments of imperfect beauty on the canvas.

The artist combines her intuitive process, emotional presence, and the language of abstraction to create a work of art that feels perfectly imperfect, resonating with her experience in the world.

About her studio she says ““I am grateful for my home studio. It offers convenience and coziness. It is a converted sunporch. The morning light through the jalousie windows is energizing and transcendent.”
