Lisa Kilty
I am a visual artist living and working in Blackshaw Head, West Yorkshire, England, where my studio overlooks the misty Pennine Hills. I have traveled widely in Spain, Portugal and South America, where the intense luminosity of colour has profoundly influenced my artwork. Where I am now, the kaleidoscopic, sweeping Pennine light effects seismic and subtle changes within my process.
My work involves painting and aspects of print-making. It is an evolving process and I am currently working on unstretched canvas with the legacy, symbolism and power of the women’s protest movements.
I have always painted and my paintings tend to emerge from the surface of the canvas in an intuitive process. I work mainly in acrylics on canvas, for the jewel-like
Over time my work has intersected with dreams, visions, archetypes, ancient history, icons, meditation, mythology, nature, space and perception which can be explored on the works page.
Painting is a transformative process.
Painting is a portal into the imagination; a mirror to the soul.
Art is Freedom.
