​Canadian painter, LIsa Johnson has been a professional artist for 30 years. She graduated from the Ontario College of Art and lives in Vaughan, just north of Toronto, ON.

Her work is represented in galleries across Canada -- Westland Gallery in London, Soul Gallery in Winnipeg, Lonsdale Gallery in Toronto and Micak Contemporary Gallery in Aurora, ON. 

Johnson’s practice is rooted in improvisation and memory. Her paintings layer atmospheric grounds and gestural marks to evoke a sense of place that is both geographic and emotional. Through this process, she creates lyrical landscapes that speak to the relationship between artist and land. Whether in the Shield country of Northern Ontario or along Newfoundland’s rugged coast, Johnson is drawn to nature at its most raw and elemental. For Lisa, painting is an ongoing attempt to express her experience of the transcendent power of nature.
