Lisa was born in Hampshire and has lived in north east Essex, mid Wales, Gloucestershire and Dumfries and Galloway where she has now settled. Lisa has always painted, exploring a variety of media and subjects. The turning point in her artistic development came in 1992 when she joined an evening class in etching at what is now the University of Gloucestershire. Over successive years her commitment to printmaking grew and in 1998 she bought her own press. She became a full time artist in 2006 when she moved to Port William, in South West Scotland.

Lisa's work is now in the Gracefield Arts Centre in Dumfries; the Mc Gill Duncan Gallery, Castle Douglas; the Rockcliffe Gallery on the Colvend Coast and the Whitehouse Gallery in Kirkcudbright. She also sells work from the Birdscapes Gallery in Glandford, Norfolk, at the Dirleton Gallery in East Lothian, the Old House Gallery, Oakham and at the British Birdwatching Fair at Rutland water, annually (see exhibitions page for full listings).

Lisa won the Birds, Birds, Birds prize for the best innovative exhibit at the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art on the Wirral for her Bird Alphabet print, in the summer of 2007. In 2008 she won the Birds Illustrated prize for the most outstanding piece of avian artwork at the same show with her woodcut A gaggle of geese.

She has a busy programme of solo exhibitions in Dumfries and Galloway and beyond throughout 2012. Her work is varied both in terms of technique and subject matter but her passion for landscape and natural history, particularly birds, is evident in much of her work. Recently Lisa has been experimenting with Japanese Woodblock printmaking. Lisa also teaches printmaking and batik on paper from her studio/gallery, which is in her home in Port William, Dumfries and Galloway.

Her work is now available through this site and from a number of galleries in Dumfries and Galloway - see Exhibitions
