Lisa Pickard

Biography

Trained in graphic design, I have spent over 20 years in the advertising industry. As a lover of all things art & craft I have tried my hand at greetings cards and home-made gifts as well as cake decorating. Although it never left me, I have recently re-kindled with my love of painting, and also have a new-found passion for soft pastels. Fascinated by rolling landscapes and the sea, I never tire of the views and am always on the lookout for my next project. Seeing the beauty in early morning sunrises and the colours in the sunsets, I am permanently in awe of the beauty of the skies and would like to capture that essence in my paintings. In the future I would like to be able to continue learning, develop as an artist, and spend more of my free time out in the field or wherever the journey takes me, building my confidence so that I can paint plein air rather than just observing from the photographs that I take.
