Forever influenced by the mural painted on her family’s Mexican home, Whitby-based creative, Lisa Town draws energy from the textures, sounds and stories of the street. Lisa utilizes a combination of many creative techniques in works with a heavy preference towards mixed media focusing on people and simple language as a means of exploring daily activities, emotions and societal issues.
As a multi-disciplinary creative, I am attracted to a variety of mediums as a means of storytelling. I find inspiration in energy, whether it be found through the solitude of natural or rural settings, or the exact opposite flurry of industrial or urban areas. Through my work, I aim to capture the essence of a moment, experience or individual and translate it on paper, canvas or wood.
