Lisa explains
about her work saying “In this series of drawings and paintings I have explored
cell forms found in the natural world. Using bold complementary colours I have
experimented with the use of positive and negative”
Prior to the art
trail Lisa delivered two workshops at The Green Centre where children were invited
to draw image of bugs and make a 3D sculpture. Here are the amazing works
created by children and young people from the age of 2-17 years.
