Lisa Grennell

After leaving school at a young age, I followed my passion and completed a Bachelor of Visual Art and Design, graduating from art school in 2010.

Trying to make ends meet and raising three children during this time, I defied all the odds to realize my dream.

I have a strong sense of family and the richness that children bring to our lives, and this is evident in the works that I create.

Children are my inspiration; my guiding light and I endeavor to invoke the nostalgia of childhood within my art.

My work largely consists of reverse hand-painting and silk screen printing on Perspex using acrylic paint, glitter, and gold leaf.

Sometimes the subject is floated within the frame creating a shadow. As daylight casts its glow on the works, so too does the shadow, thus bringing the subject to life.
