About

Lisa's artwork found a new voice when she discovered the Chinese calligraphy brush and ink. The qualities of the ancient brush give her the freedom to make marks that are spontaneous and gestural - allowing her to express movement and emotion.   Her paintings can be representative her natural surroundings; the mountains, the sea, the sky or her paintings can be pure abstraction painted after quiet contemplation.  Some paintings are created in the studio while others painted outdoors en plein air.  











ABOUT INK PAINTING

Ink wash painting is typically monochrome, using mainly shades of black, with a great emphasis on brushwork to convey the "essence" of a subject over direct imitation. The goal of ink and wash painting is not simply to reproduce the appearance of the subject, but to capture its spirit. Emphasis is on "simplicity, spontaneity and self-expression". Once a stroke is painted it cannot be changed or erased.
