About the Item

This work on paper includes a foundation of colored paper squares which provide a texture of lines throughout. It is painted with oil sticks (or crayons). The imagery conveys the softness of spring through the pink and yellow flowers. The top portion of green and brown display the colors of earth. The imagery is flipped. Ordinarily, the earthly colors would be below the flowers. This is a metaphor for the unusual times in which we are living. The background paper is a light blue. Lisa Lightman Fine Art I started to make art in my mid-thirties. I took a few adult education classes. One class changed everything. Draw whatever you want, however you want. I leaned toward abstraction. It was liberating to make art that was generated by the myriad of emotions that floated on the surface of my life at that time. How I make art has evolved slowly. The willingness to see colors and shapes in a landscape or on a kitchen counter, or feel a mood or emotion, all rendered through paints, pencils and other materials, are only a few of the infinite filters that land on the surface. I understand that each mark or color choice, or the final painting, is recognized as a moment in time not to be matched by any other moment in time. My primary pull, as an artist, is to leave an emotional mark, an image or shape that is mysterious and curious, brings joy and beauty. I create art that generates, for me, a feeling of wonder and awe, not unlike life itself.

  • When It Lies Down on a Cloud: abstract collage on paper, landscape
    Located in Petaluma, CA
    I've been inspired by flowers, nature and botanical themes for the past year. I like stretching the imagery to include primitivism, collage and a feeling of immediacy. The immediacy is not unlike our current need and insistence to confront climate change. The painting on paper has a line of collaged, colored papers applied horizontally, almost like a grid of urgency. That is juxtaposed by faint lines that convey roots. This is framed in white.
