Lisa Parkyn

Lisa spent her early life on a remote farm in the Kalahari semi-desert, Botswana. She has painted for as long as she can remember.  

Lisa went on to study and have a career in graphic design in South Africa and London. Whilst working in London she completed a degree in movement psychotherapy part-time. After overseas travel, Lisa settled in Devon, fourteen years with my husband.

Along with raising a family, she began to revisit her art – initially portraits and landscapes and now leaning toward abstract.

Lisa’s art practice has become more process driven and a personal expression where fragments of nature and everyday life that have been soaked up are reworked through the creative process. Like pieces of an unconscious puzzle that emanate from deep inside become resolved in the artwork. Colour, shape, texture and line the visual words of something intangible. Lisa’s passion for exploration, experimentation and play allows her artistic voice to evolve.
