About the Item

Artist Comments
This abstract landscape painting, built through multiple layers of wet-on-wet mediums, creates a rich surface. The tactile depth contrasts with smooth, glossy passages that suggest the shimmer of water along a distant line. Deep tones convey passion and turbulent energy, as if the land itself were alive with emotion and struggle. Cascading whites hint at waterfalls, bringing a fleeting sense of calm that cuts gently through the darker hues.


About the Artist
Artist Lisa Crosby creates layered abstract landscapes through a meticulous and experimental process. She glazes, stamps, paints, draws, sands, and layers to explore colors, shapes, and textures inspired by her memories and surroundings. "I am fascinated by the subtleties of the environment and the interplay between structure and chaos, intuition and preparation, landscape and memory," says Lisa. Her paintings often reflect events from daily life, the intricacies of relationships, and personal experiences, blending concept with emotion. Lisa works from her home studio, surrounded by the tools and materials that enable her exploratory approach. Through her art, she seeks to communicate and connect with viewers, offering immersive experiences within each composition. Outside the studio, she continues to engage with her community and environment, finding inspiration in everyday life.
