About Lisa Roy

 
 
  • Biography
    After 18 years as an art director/graphic designer, I gave it up to focus on my love of painting full time. After a career of precision and staying within the lines, I discovered the energy of painting intuitively. I'm inspired by life events, my memories and the ongoing dialogue in my head. My work combines the tension of gestural mark making with consciously executed elements with layer upon layer of colour. There is a definite chaos as each work evolves until eventually a visual order seems to emerge. My hope is to create an abstracted reality that each viewer can bring their own feelings or memory to.
