"Spring Rains" Painting

Lisa Miller is a California-based artist whose paintings are inspired by beauty, nature and moments of transcendence in the human experience. She works primarily in oil on canvas, and water-based mediums on paper, and is at home painting both on-location outdoors ‘en plein air’, and in the studio using a combination of her own photographs, feelings and intuition as source material.

Through her work, Lisa endeavors to convey a feeling of awareness to a greater force in our lives, often experienced as ‘an awakening’. This experience of the transcendent is a universal truth that we can all identify with - regardless of we are individually on our life’s journeys – and it brings us closer to ourselves and each other. The overall effect of her art work is that of free-form expression, affirmation and liberation - one that provokes connection and inspires deeply personal introspection and spiritual growth.

“My intention is to create a painting that is akin to a spiritual experience. The artist, the divine creative spirit, and the viewer all meet at the painting. My paintings evoke an experience similar to when we take a moment in the day to gaze up at the sky while it slowly transforms in front of our eyes. Over time the painting will slowly reveal even more to you. And it will slow you down. We lead such busy lives, it is important to take time to let our souls catch up with us. My art invites us to do this. My paintings are a meditation.”

Lisa believes in the transformative power of art to touch the soul, uplift the spirit, and shine a light on the journey of life.

Her artwork has been exhibited and collected nationally and internationally and her paintings and writing have been featured in various print and online publications.
