Lisa (Lariviere), Lorenz was born in Montreal, Canada and has been drawing and painting exuberantly since childhood and her talent expands over many years. After living overseas for over 13 years, she has recently moved back to her native Canada and now lives in Ottawa.
She studied graphic design and advertising at Concordia University. Her work led her outside the art world and she pursed a career with a major railway for over 9 years. In 1996 she moved overseas with her husband and was given the opportunity to once again discover her artistic side. She started painting again taking several art classes and workshops in Europe and Asia.
She has lived in Basel, Switzerland, Seoul, Korea and Copenhagen, Denmark and has traveled extensively and many of her paintings are often based on her travels through Europe and Asia. Painting her impressions is her way of remembering and sharing such colorful memories.
Lisa is an artist who uses a radiant palette to create her colourful and stylized paintings. Her work is characterized by joyful compositions, exaggerated perspectives and her strikingly effective use of colours and pattern. Her playful, lively, vivid compositions all evoke in us a sense of happiness and a smile. Her paintings are consistently fun to look at and even have a slightly youthful quality to them without being childish. Her paintings are guaranteed to brighten up your day.
Over the years, her colourful and stylized paintings have grown and become more creative, vibrant and distinct in style. Her work hangs in private collections in Australia, Asia, Europe and North America.
