Lisa was born in Timaru, New Zealand.  After leaving school at a young age, she followed her passion and completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Design, graduating art school in 2010.  Lisa has a strong sense of family and the richness that children bring to her family lives, and this is evident in the works she creates.  Children are an inspiration and Lisa manages to capture the nostalgia, fun and cheeky that children bring

Lisa's  work largely consists of reverse hand-painting and silk screen printing on Perspex using acrylic paint, glitter, and gold leaf.  Sometimes the subject is floated within the frame creating a shadow. As daylight casts its glow on the works, so too does the shadow, thus bringing the subject to life.  We also see a 3 dimensional aspect to her work that also brings it to life, together with the subject these are artworks you will never tire of.
