Lisa Courtney is known for her vivid contemporary paintings, her use of luscious, rich hues and the joyfulness which she brings to landscapes, architectural images and objects. With bold and lively brushstrokes and an unlimited palette, Lisa intuitively captures the light and evokes a mood in her work. More than one patron has shared “I would love to live in a Lisa Courtney painting.”
Her bold, colorful paintings have garnered praise and been showcased in galleries, featured at juried art shows, and purchased for corporate and private collections.
Lisa’s recent work is inspired by the landscape and seascapes of New England. The mood of her paintings
are generally vibrant, joyful, colorful and airy. Her dramatic landscapes, boats and beach cottages are full of abstract shape and color, graphically representing clouds, trees, rivers, fields, marshes, and open grassland.
Artistic influences include Hockney, Hopper, Wolf Khan, the Fauves, and Fairfield Porter. A Native New Englander, Lisa studied at the Art Institute of Boston. Paintings can be found in both corporate and private collections throughout the US and Europe. She began painting at the age of 31 and has been in many group
and solo exhibitions. She currently lives and works north of Boston. Represented by McKenna Gallery, Rocky Neck and Pop Gallery, Gloucester.
It’s no coincidence that Lisa’s fine art is imbued with a strong design sense. Lisa has spent almost two decades winning awards as an art director and designer for an impressive roster of Fortune 500 clients and top ad agencies. But painting has always been in her DNA. Lisa is the third-generation in a family of accomplished painters. Her great-grand father, New York City artist Curtis Sisco, was known for his distinctive figurative paintings of celebrities including Sammy Snead and Benny Goodman. And her grandmother, Virginia Neer, was known throughout New England as an accomplished and well-loved painter.
In her own words:
“I just love color. My paintings are a response to the soul of what I see. I immerse myself in my surroundings and literally float on a sea of color. As I move the brush, the color works through me and transforms me. This is my visual dialogue.
I am but a channel . I search for that certain something that takes me from the everyday and transports me to some other place. This dreamlike place seems somehow familiar yet undefinable. My great desire is to bring joy to the viewer through the exploration of bold, vivid colors and simplified forms....
to remind and transport them to a place they remember and love, or would someday like to be.”
