Lisa Hawkins
Lisa Hawkins is a painter based in Ramsgate, her inspiration for work is the landscape. Working from life, memory and imagination – she aims to weld the spirit of place with an exploration of the human condition.
Developing a relationship with place is central to Lisa’s practice, and she will deepen her connection to an area by drawing, walking and painting in a chosen location. The memory of each subsequent visit changes the course of the work, which is often completed in the studio.
The paintings are about what it feels like to be in, and connected to, nature - the presence of another human being changes this relationship, and for that reason the finished work is usually devoid of the human presence.
Lisa has as a first-class degree and an MA in Fine Art. Her interest in the interplay between the interior life and the external landscape led her to complete a second Master’s in Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred, an experience that fostered a deep and continuing interest in psychology and mythology.
