Artist Open Studios: Lisa MacDonald
I am Lisa MacDonald, a visual artist creating illustrative paintings around the themes of safety and insecurity, hopefulness and disappointment. My work interrogates what it means to shore oneself up, excavating harsh truths about who or what we need and how to find calm amidst chaos, in one way or another.

More Information
Often my paintings reference nature, story, home and family life in a jumbled attempt to question the constant search for comfort both in our bodies and our environments. They are borne from my own struggle with what it means to feel ok in a body that is often in pain and in a landscapes which promises hope just a little further down the path if only you can sort a few things out first!
My studio is close to St Mark's church and is in the basement of the second house on the left as you walk down towards the Hotel de France. Please note, there is no wheelchair access.
