Tempestas ~ Imperial Majesty

This is a new one in my 'Portals Series'. I splashed blues, aqua and white paint (eat your heart out Jackson Pollock LOL) diagonally across the canvas to create a feeling of tempest rain. Next I added an outline of a female head & shoulders with the intention of calling the painting "Tempesta" (Goddess of rain/tempest). At this point my painting took on a mind of its own! As I added the Imperial Butterflies with just touches of iridescent highlight on their wings, I was unable to resist the urge to superimpose an open window and thus "TEMPESTAS ~ IMPERIAL MAJESTY" is born. This artist is thrilled and proud of this large artwork that began as an idea and became a totally different image on my canvas!

This painting is signed on the front and a laminated, numbered Certificate of Authenticity is included.

Hi I'm Lisa, an Australian artist residing in rural NSW. I paint in her studio almost every day and enjoy producing artworks in a variety of styles and genres. I thrive on variety, challenge and a passion for colour, vibrant or subdued, as is evident in my work.

My style is thematically and stylistically diverse, deliberate and intended. It doesn't fit happily under a single descriptor as it encompasses impressionism, whimsical, surreal and the absurd. As an artist my greatest challenge is to produce paintings that transfer my abstract ideas and mental visions to tangible images on canvas.

I create my images from ideas and inspirations derived from eclectic sources such as common phrases, play on words, juxta-positioning objects with objects and animals with objects, homonyms, colour journeys and from nature itself. I pay particular attention to placement, exploration into colour and composition in each artwork. Various techniques such as pointillism, sponging, impasto work and more traditional brushwork is used and I am never afraid to try new methods to produce each piece.

I am an intuitive artist who remains seriously committed to my art and I intend to continue exploring ideas, processes and techniques for many years to come!

I hope that my artworks evoke emotion and allow you to feel and see something special. Please follow me on this wonderful creative journey and feel free to message me via the inbox if you have any queries on any of my artworks.

Thank you so much for supporting Australian Artists and for taking the time to view my artwork it means sop much to me!
