Lisa Hayden (Painting)
Artist Statement
Lisa Hayden is an artist creating colorful paintings in an abstract expressionist style using encaustics, acrylics, and inks. She studied painting at the University of Miami, where the vibrant colors of the warm ocean, palm trees, and pastel houses have had a lasting influence on her art for over 20 years.
Abstract expressionism uses the canvas as a whole without a main focal point, and expresses feeling through motion and color. A creative force in Lisa's work is a love of nature, and the vision that nature is a perfect example of abstract expressionism itself. Gardens and the ocean, with its many colors and fluidity, are seen in many of her pieces, whether it's warm colorful Florida, a misty Fall day on Cape Cod, or the deep moving sea.
