Resipole Studios is delighted to present MARA: an exhibition of paintings by Scottish artist Lisa Houston. In this, the artist’s first solo show, paintings on display reflect a deep affinity for the west coast of Scotland and a long-held love for the sea.
Lisa’s connection to the west coast of Scotland began some thirty years ago on family holidays to Loch Sunart and the surrounding area, where many fond memories were made. It was a place she felt an instant connection to, returning year upon year, and would eventually make it her home.
In addition to drawing upon deep memories of a sense of place, Lisa’s work is inspired by time spent exploring, observing and recording; from being fully immersed in the landscape that surrounds her, whether that be on foot or by boat. Walking the shoreline near to her home at the last low tide, seeing what treasures and changes the sea brings each day, fascinates her, and informs her work. Equally, time spent sailing around the west coast and beyond allows her to study the land from the sea.
MARA will be on display in Resipole Studios’ white gallery space from Sunday 16th July until Friday 18th August and can also be viewed online here.
