Lisa Buckland is a Melbourne based visual artist working in a combination of acrylics, watercolours and sumi ink. Experience in graphic design, screen printing and photography has shaped her unique arts practice with sensibilities of the Rinpa School of Japanese art and design. Her work examines identity, and the human psyche, using the talisman of nature. Colour and mark-making are prioritised over realistic representation. Poignant imagery of wildlife and flora aim to bring a sense of beauty and connection to the natural world, while evoking a response to the impacts of climate change and the vulnerability to extinction we share with our native species. Lisa has exhibited in many group exhibitions and has works held in private collections in Sydney, Melbourne and Regional Victoria.
