Lisa Ellison - Landscape Painter

   Originally from San Diego, and by way of Seattle and Albuquerque, Lisa Ellison has lived in Colorado for the past 20 years, expanding her unique artistic vision, and enjoying the outdoor lifestyle.  At her easel on a crisp snowy morning on the Continental Divide, or on a hot summer day in New Mexico, her love of the natural world shines through in her canvases. She paints evocative landscapes and still life with intense color and feeling, looking for the underlying strength and movement in each composition.  She prefers to paint outdoors,  in order to experience and interpret the pure strength of earth and sky.
She is an Associate member of Oil Painters of America, as well as a member of the Plein Air Artists of Colorado, and the Art Students League of Denver.  She has studied painting with Kevin MacPherson, Louisa McElwain, and Teresa Vito, amongst others, and she recently had the opportunity to study the art of Fresco with a Master Restorer in Tuscany.
Whether in fresco or oil, her aim is to portray the beauty of the natural world in a style all her own.
