The paddy fields are a metaphor for the cycle of life where Lisa explores various themes relevant to a person’s life journey. Her paintings convey messages about the transient nature of life, patience and determination and harvesting the fruits of one’s labour. Her style is influenced by the works of post-Impressionists.

“What makes a good painting?” Everyone has their own answers but mine is fairly simple: “Sincerity and honesty”.
