Curriculum Vitae:ààààààààààààLisa Cox àBorn 1972 in Melbourne àLiving and Working on the Mornington Peninsula àEducation Details: àBachelor of Special Education - Monash University 1993 àBachelor of Teaching - Deakin University 1990 àVCE - St. Leonards College 1989 àCareer Details: àArtist â self- employed - exhibiting in Galleries throughout Australia 2000 - Present àTeacher @ Brighton Grammar 1996 - 2000 àSpecial Education Teacher @ Junior School - Woodleigh 1994 - 1995 àPrior to painting Lisa was teaching children, a career that allowed her to be creative and imaginative whilst teaching the children in her care. After having her own children, her love affair with painting began. Studying art whilst raising her children, Lisa found artists teaching short courses to learn from. Lisa's whimsical style developed over the next few years. àâÂÂÂÂMy inspirations continue to evolve however I do have a few core influences that will always have an effect on me. My children, my passion for colour, fabrics and ever changing fashion and design are a common thread through the span of my painting career, this keeps evolving and building. àWhen I was young I had made up a person who lived in a painting that hung in my home. I like to think that my paintings speak to others in this same way. That they evoke stories of beautiful places and happy times. àI like to source colours and ideas in different places and collate sketches of ideas throughout the year. Photos from holidays, gardens, the beach, colour snippets from magazines and pieces of fabrics combined with fabulous colours help inspire a story to put on to canvas. àLisaâÂÂÂÂs work is sought after as both commission work and bespoke art pieces.
