Lisa Carney

Lisa Carney is a Canadian abstract painter and singer from the Gaspé Coast of Quebec, now living and working north of Montreal. Her minimalist landscapes and abstract gardens are rooted in memories of open fields, wildflowers and the expansive views of the Baie-des-Chaleurs region.

Working intuitively in acrylic, she builds her paintings through layered colour, softened passages, drips and scattered marks. Drips are a recurring element in her work, suggesting roots—both literal and personal—and connecting the paintings to place, origin and growth.

Carney approaches painting much as she approaches music, allowing rhythm, pause and emotion to guide each composition. Her work moves between quiet horizon-based paintings and more abundant garden-like fields, creating spaces that invite reflection and emotional connection.

She studied visual arts at Université Laval and the Université du Québec à Montréal. Her work has been exhibited in Canada, the United States and France and is held in private and corporate collections. She is represented by Galerie NuEdge Fine Arts International in Montreal.
