LISA JENNINGS
ENCAUSTIC PAINTINGS
Lisa's new paintings are a combination of expressive and lyrical drawing, encaustics and resin inspired by natural imagery have become even more developed as Lisa and her family recently moved to to a more natural and rural setting. A variety of trees, birds, and animals are part of her daily visual imagery and these ideas are now incorporated into her current encaustic paintings.
"The strength, compassion, and determination of my art mentors such as , Sam Gilliam, David Driskell , Keith Morrison, and so many more, impressed me with their abilities to balance family and art making and influenced my paintings and my artistic life over the years. These individuals have been and still are so important to me and in my wanting to continue my work in the studio.
In looking back, through teaching others, I have grown in my technique and my passion for wanting to express myself through my chosen media.
My mentors are always in my thoughts while I am making art as I hope that my influence in mentoring others, will have a continued , positive impact on their lives as future art makers."
"The process of painting is what is most important to me. Imagery is secondary as the media of oil paint and wax - their depth, translucency, and many physical and technical abilities, are what motivates me in the studio"
Lisa Jennings, 2026
