Hello

I'm Lisa, an artist based in West Norfolk. I have been drawing as a hobby and creating commissions for friends and family for years. In 2021, with the support of my family and friends, I finally plucked up the courage to go full time with my art.
 

I'm a self-taught artist, having failed art college and been told by my art tutors "you'll never be an artist". Shockingly, so many people I speak to have been told they "aren't good enough" or have been discouraged from doing what they love by teachers and peers, and those words stopped me from drawing for about 10 years, before I eventually picked up a pencil again! A lot of courage, patience, years of practice, successes and failures, have gotten me to where I am today. Now I'm here to say to anyone who wants to start out in art or has been told they're "not good enough" or that they "can't" that: Yes, you are good enough and yes you can!

​

I have always been inspired by the natural world and my work strives to capture the essence, personality and captivating beauty that can be found in all life forms. Often delving beyond the mainstream, my work often casts a spotlight on unsung and unconventional animals, showcasing the beauty that can be found in all creatures.

In all my work, I aim to create a visual narrative that is striking and emotionally charged, sparking contemplation and empathy from the viewer. I use rich blacks to add depth and intensity and like to experiment with light and shade, infusing each piece with mood and emotional resonance. My colour pieces are a new addition and I have enjoyed working with pastel pencils, a medium very similar to charcoal and chalk, to inject colour into my pieces

I use a varying combination of charcoals, graphite pencils, colour pastel pencils and chalk as well as fine line art pens to capture the intricate details and finer highlights.
