WHERE ART IS LIMITLESS
THE ARTIST
Lisa Jayne Porter is a British Cypriot artist, currently based in Tucson, Arizona.
Her love for the arts has been a lifetime affair. Lisa has been involved in all aspects of the arts since a little girl. She grew up performing alongside studying at school. Lisa started her career as a singer, songerwriter, dancer and actor. Performing internationally on Stage, TV and Radio. Under her-then- family name 'Lisa Andreas'. BBC, Sky News, ITV, CYBC, RIK and several other international TV stations. Lisa also performed live as a Musical Theatre artist in London's West End, in theatres including The Prince of Wales, and dance performances in Her Majesty's Theatre.
Lisa completed her Bachelor of Arts in Voice and Musical Theatre at the prestigious Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, Greenwich, England. Her time at university gave her a deeper understanding for devising and directing original work in both music, theatre and visual art. Lisa went on to devise an original musical with a company formed from members of her graduating year - that went on to have a sell out run upon opening.
In 2014 Lisa followed her heart and moved from the UK to the US. Where she now lives, raising her son. She continued to perform and write in the States, at that point painting was just for her. It wasn't until the pandemic - with the world of live performance shut down - that she decided to pick up her brushes to feed her creative soul. She finished off a piece that she had tucked away. The piece was called 'OVERTHINKER', Lisa shared her first piece of art on social media and the response was explosive. There was huge buzz for the piece and it sold instantly. That piece catapulted the start of her painting career. Lisa was then commissioned for several original custom artworks and it hasn’t stopped since. Her original art has gone on to be featured in local businesses in Tucson, and homes both in the States and the UK.
Lisa is a mixed media artist, specialising in acrylic, acrylic pour and resin. Her collections include abstract, ocean art, women, portraits, and pop art. Lisa firmly believes in the transformative power of art to positively impact the world. She views both music and visual art as universal languages that have the ability to unite people. Lisa places significant emphasis on the energy each piece should convey, collaborating closely with her clients to align with their vision and the atmosphere they wish to create within their space. This collaboration is evident in her work, where the choice of colors and mediums is thoughtfully selected to reflect the desired emotion and aesthetic, whilst encapsulating her artist expression.
