About Lisa
Lisa Compton grew up in a small southwestern Ontario town and moved to Toronto in the mid eighties. A love of plants and nature inspired her to pursue an education in horticulture and landscape design. After graduating with an honours diploma, Lisa took an administrative job in the healthcare sector and created landscape designs in the evening. She also explored other artistic avenues including photography and decorative art.
Education has always been important to Lisa, and as her art advanced, she began studying fine art and attending seminars/workshops with internationally known wildlife artists including Robert Bateman, Derek Wicks, Terry Isaac and David Kitler. All have provided valuable insights and techniques that Lisa incorporates into her own progressing style.
Lisa’s love of nature is evident in her work. She enjoys painting all types of animals, particularly birds, along with other subjects that appeal to her. She and her husband have fostered both dogs and cats, and many have been featured in her paintings.
Lisa’s professional art career is just beginning as she winds down her corporate work life and begins her exciting journey on her true path into the art world. She continues to live and work in Toronto, Ontario and enjoys spending as much time as possible in her home studio.
