Visual Art – Toronto
Lisa Cripps was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. Being the daughter of Dr. Dinshaw Mehta, a Parsi from India and Sarah (Sally) Ethel Mackay from Charteris, Quebec, Canada taught her to achieve her dreams with hard work and desire.
Like many artists, she searches for the “way,” which is ever-changing, and ever-adapting. As a result, her artistic thoughts and vision have to adapt and change as well. She has learned to set goals for herself which are attainable instead of unreachable. Painting for her is visual poetry expressing her soul.
Her artwork is a continuance of her creative life’s journey as she pursues an evolutionary life path. As she evolves, so does her art. Her art all comes intuitively, inspired by things she loves. Lisa is a self-taught artist, and learns more techniques with every passing year. She loves to paint landscapes, nudes, flowers, street scenes, seascapes, pastoral and abstract art. It’s a matter of both left brain and right brain being in perfect balance that makes her complete. She does not stay within the same genre as she finds it too confining. She prefers to be eclectic and paint by emotion and not always structure.
