Biography:

Born and raised in Maine, Lisa Noonis connected with art early in life. She excelled in her creative pursuits throughout childhood and then studied art, communications, and advertising at University of Maine. Noonis went on to form her own award-winning advertising, marketing, and design company.

After many successful years with her  business, she turned to painting, developing her fine art and "painting every day —still life, portraits, landscapes, studies of the human form, anything that would sit still in the studio or in front of her canvas.”  Today, Noonis’ work continues to evolve and mature as she explores objects, people and places. Her work is shown regularly in galleries throughout the country and is held in a growing number of collections around the world.

Statement:

“I start a painting with the open mindedness of an explorer. I don't fully know where any given piece will land but am certain that if I show up to work every day, it will arrive at its destination. I paint what I know--figures, still lifes, and landscapes, but push these "knowns" into abstracted places.  I combine my love of color, form, line and design without fully abandoning representation. I work in a constant state of experimentation and discovery. My materials range from oils, acrylic, and latex, to graphite, oil pastels, and collage — media whose very nature allows me the freedom  to work expressively and without hesitation. I often work directly on large sheets of canvas or paper on the walls, sometimes using tools like extension poles, squeegees and oversized paintbrushes.

As a self-taught painter, artistic growth is critical to me. While transformation is a challenge on many levels, it forces me to go beyond what I think I know and feeds my curious nature."
