Artist’s Statement
Liisa has found fulfilment as a Landscape & Portrait Artist. Cherishing the space and freedom of her rural home studio, nestled on the fringes of Toowoomba, she feels a deep connection with the land. A fiercely passionate conservationist, Liisa is mesmerized by the atmospheric intensity of shifting light across the hills, hollows and waterways of surrounding landscapes, inspiring her to create luminous and enticing impressions of her love for country, and inviting the observer to engage in the majesty of the breath-takingly magnificent, natural environment.
Biography
Growing up on the land, Liisa’s childhood equine sketches defined her future life path. With top grades in Art at school, she graduated from 5 more years of formal training in Art School. Liisa's career path then led her through Design, Marketing, Retail and onto Livestock Breeding, until 2014, when an Artist friend encouraged her to take part in a local Exhibition. Now, with multiple Exhibitions, Commissions and Sales to Private Collectors, Liisa also enjoys tutoring Pastel Art Classes.
Influences
Landscape and Wildlife artists such as John Wilson, Ted Lewis, John Rice, Warwick Fuller, Leon Holmes and David Shepherd.
