Painting for over 30 years, Ms Lisa paints to express moods; “To capture certain feelings or moods rather than the obvious image”. Along with a myriad of artists, she is most inspired by Van Gogh, specifically his mastery of color, light and impressions. However, her initial inspiration came by coincidence.
Her father’s close friend happened to be a painter. As a result, they frequently visited the friend, Mr. Park, at his studio. She recalls the distinct smell of an artist’s studio, especially the oil colour. Soon she was intrigued by all that is oil painting. She insists the colors created from the oils have persuaded him to painting. Soon it became a positive source for expressing her creativity.
She enjoys painting an array of different subjects, but currently favors floral. When asked what her favorite color was, she paused and then responded with “brown!” She is partial to earth tones.
Not only does she paint to express moods but also to illicit feelings of overall happiness from her family. She met her husband in an art class; they share an interest in painting. Since then, she continues to provide invaluable critiques of his works.
