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 and started working from her basement studio in Cheltenham.

Lisa began to sell her work at first locally and then further afield. In 1999 a significant corporate sale was followed by a small solo exhibition and acceptance onto the AA2A scheme in September. This scheme, designed to give practicing artists access to art college facilities, enabled Lisa to spend 100 hours in the University studios developing a portfolio of work on barns for a final exhibition early in 2000.

Lisa's work has been marketed by galleries in Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Bath, St Ives and Appledore and is now in the Original Gatehouse Gallery in Gatehouse of Fleet, Gracefield Arts Centre in Dumfries, the Isle Smugglers at the Isle of Whithorn, and the Whitehouse Gallery, Kirkcudbright.

Lisa has just 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.

She has a busy programme of solo exhibitions in Dumfries and Galloway throughout the summer of 2007. 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 working on a number of artists book projects and experimenting with batik on paper, both of which possess some synergy with 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
