Lisa Farrell is an abstract mixed media artist. She works intuitively with many materials in multiple layers, adding then subtracting by scraping, scratching and sanding back into the surface revealing the history below.  She alternates between this intuitive, free experimentation and a more critical approach where she analyses the design and composition, fine tuning the overall appearance. She builds up each piece over time, continuing to add layers with acrylic paint, pencil, markers, collage, and pouring mediums until the final piece reveals itself. She strives to achieve paintings that catch your eye from a distance and invite you to take a closer look to reveal the fine detail and texture up close.

Lisa’s degree in Psychology, her work in Interior Design and her love of travel have all played an integral part in the art she creates.  She continues to explore and learn about new mediums and techniques to incorporate into her work, constantly taking courses both in person and online to keep ideas fresh. She purposefully integrates elements of design such as contrast, shape, texture, form, colour and line to create balance, tension and harmony.
