Her passion for art and animals began when she was old enough to hold a pencil. When other children were outside playing with their friends, Lisa Marie preferred to sit for hours behind a mountain of nature books.
Pencil in hand, she would happily practice for hours trying to replicate the colours and shapes of the birds, fish, animals and insects within the pages. Her sketch pad and pencil were her best friends and they have remained that way to this day.
Influences and Style
Lisa Marie’s artwork is as diverse as her personality. True-to-life field studies reflecting her serious and thoughtful side right through to fun & colourful art reminiscent of children’s books and which reflects her child-like alter ego. No matter which style Lisa Marie paints in, the same thing influences her work… her love of animals & nature! In recent years, cats have become almost an obsession and they appear in almost 75% of her creative work.
Art for limited space
Being generally small in size Lisa Marie’s artwork is perfect for even the smallest of homes. ACEOs are her main focus but she does paint on a larger scale. Although, her larger work rarely goes above the small format maximum of 14 inches on the larger side. Lisa Marie’s infamous It’s A Cat’s Life series of ACEOs and small paintings have sold to private collections around the world!
