Watercolors
For this demo Lisa will talk about painting
wet-in-wet with watercolors and discuss
different surfaces for painting.
Lisa Goren was born in California and raised in NYC. And yet, she has
dreamed of Polar Landscapes since she was in her teens. Her first trip
took her to Antarctica where she was inspired and captivated by the
landscape. She has also traveled to Iceland and Alaska to increase her
understanding of the Polar Regions.
Her watercolors show an unfamiliar landscape in a new light. By using
vibrant colors and taking risks with different surfaces, she makes the
viewer reevaluate their understanding of both these landscapes and their
beliefs in the potential of the medium. Her works create questions about
the nature of abstraction and our planet as many of her pieces are
representations of unfamiliar terrains.
Lisa's work can be found in personal collections all over the world, from
Australia to Iceland, to much of the United States. She was awarded a
place on the 2013 voyage of The Arctic Circle, an artist residency sailing
near the North Pole. This "trip of a lifetime" is just the beginning of the
next phase of her Polar work. Lisa has been working out of Boston,
Massachusetts for the past 25 years.
