Lisa explains: “I was a Shoreham girl for 32 years until 8 years ago when I relocated to the far north of Scotland, near John O’Groats. I started painting in Shoreham and was heavily inspired by the Sussex Coast. I used to exhibit locally, take part in the Adur Art Trail every year and exhibit in galleries in Brighton. I initially moved to Scotland to do some seasonal work in hospitality, but the wild, remote landscape hooked me and I decided to move permanently in 2011.

“I now run a successful, creative business selling my art and products in Scottish retail outlets, from my website and from my beautiful studio overlooking the North Sea. Whilst in Scotland I have been commissioned by the Royal British Legion to create a painting for the Prince of Wales. This now displays in the Castle of Mey.
