Lisa Albert hails from three generations of artists. Like her mother and grandmother before her, the latter of which designed and produced hand-made silk scarves in her Parisian studio in the 1930’s for the likes of Christian Dior, the passion for color, design, and form runs deep and can be felt in Lisa’s long history of art.
Nationally known in the field of Interior Design, Lisa has spent the last 30+ years as a partner in a Decorative and Fine Arts Studio, Albert & Holmes, creating designs for clients around the country, and has been featured in numerous publications.
With a BFA in Studio Art and Art History from the University of Texas, she now resides in La Jolla, California, dedicated to long impassioned days in the studio.
Her works are thoughtful, evocative, and prolifically inspired by a passion for form, color, and intricate balance. The pieces are current, but as though being channeled by the encoded DNA of a long history of painters.
About my work
As an artist, there is a sense of fear and vulnerability in coming face to face with a large blank canvas. So here, I close my eyes and summon my muses, and begin to draw.
I feel shapes, color, and form in everything I see, from man-made objects to nature I furiously sketch these images that come to me. I pour through resource material looking for pleasing color palettes, and build models to capture shadows and light sources.
I have always been drawn to basic geometric shapes, and my paintings represent a story of complexity, balance, form, and at the end, harmony. Every shape has a place in balancing the whole, and every painting a story to be told, unique to every viewer. I want the longer you look, the more you have to look, to discover, to understand the story, and hopefully at the end you exit the painting, with a sense of satisfaction and completion, and through all its movement, you are at peace.
