EP 31: Art 2 HeArt : Lisa-Marie Price, Abstract Paintings Created With Sustainably Sourced Natural Watercolours Made By Hand From Foraged Earth Pigment.
Today on Art Seeker Stories podcast, I have an Art 2 HeArt with Lisa-Marie Price, an environmentally focused abstract artist working primarily with handmade watercolours sourced from natural earth pigments. Lisa-Marie is a London based painter who explores the connection between nature, people and place.
The central purpose of Lisa- Marie’s work is to raise awareness of our delicate natural landscapes and the ever-worsening climate crisis. She uses sustainable and eco-conscious methods in her practice to highlight overconsumption and careless consumerism.
The physicality of paint making with earth pigments forges a deep-rooted connection to the materials she uses, both from urban and rural settings.
Although her paintings are subtle in their appearance, they examine big topics. Climate change, sustainability, ecology and our food systems are the main motivations behind her work.
In this episode, we talk about Lisa- Marie’s first art Fair experience and what she learned from it. She tells us of her unique painting process and the journey she takes to create it. Her artist business began primarily with teaching and now has switched to focus more on her own artwork, which has also seen her branch out into curation. We talk of good Karma and the value of sharing information and the importance of community.
Lisa- Marie's book recommendations:
