About Lisa
Wallace, artist
Painting
makes me happy. The simple pleasures that surround me everyday
tend to be what I paint…southern comforts like flowers, foods,
the human figure, barns, farms, fields and animals. These things
make me happy.
Each painting
has a story to tell. Like life itself, every painting is a blend
of light and darkness, with layers of color, texture and emotion.
I believe that art should stir you... I hope you can see the rich
colors and feel movement in each painting. Life at it's best is
about sharing, uplifting, helping; I want my art to be an expression
of that positive attitude.
I
have painted for most of my life and began selling my artwork
in 1990. Trained as a pediatric nurse practitioner, I now work
part-time in order to concentrate on my painting and raising my
sons Paul, Jr., and Sims. My husband, Paul, and I grew-up in Alabama.
I love it most for the inspiration I find around me everyday.
It's a great place to raise a family, and it's a great environment
for an artist.
My work
is acrylic paint on canvas or wood. You can find my paintings
in private collections, exhibitions and galleries throughout the
south.
