journey of the white dog.

Lisa Kidd is a contemporary, abstract, artist who uses acrylics and oils and is influenced by feelings, music, poems, and nature. A life-long artist, she loves being in the state of flow from her subconscious through her spirit to the canvas. Painting the rhythm of life’s emotions; blemishes, vulnerabilities, joys, challenges, and the pursuit of beauty in every experience and the opportunities through life’s journey.

In life we have unfinished stories, and she purposely leaves a small part of her canvas blank to represent the story that is yet to unfold, leaving it to the imagination of the viewer. This reminder provides space for each of us to reflect and lean into the stories and chapters that we have yet to write and uncover.
