Lisa Cunningham

About

Lisa is a Glasgow-based internationally-selling artist that loves to paint florals and figures. 

Art was something that ran in the family; Her gran was an artist and Lisa grew up learning from her gran – acrylics, watercolours and oil paint – her self-taught tricks of the trade. 

Hailing from a coven of curiosity and harbouring a thirst for knowledge and continuous learning, Lisa completed a year-long intensive course with the Milan Art Institute in 2021 and now coaches and mentors their students and teaches on their retreats abroad in Italy. She also is an avid bookworm, studying Creative Writing at the Open University, and hosts painting workshops around Glasgow, Edinburgh and from her own personal East-End Glasgow studio on a regular basis.

She finds fantastic influences for her artwork wherever she travels in the world and is particularly drawn to places seeped in rich, macabre, ancient history. She is continually drawn to where the lands are boldly adorned with architecturally stunning works of art; ancient castles, theaters, libraries, cathedrals, churches, basilicas and apothecaries.

Usually found at her easel with a cup of coffee or a glass of red wine and a mysteriously tantalising podcast in her ears, Lisa works from her Glasgow studios, creating a constant flow of new artworks and commissioned work and teaching in-person art students on a one to one basis. ​
