Lisa Parker - Artist Biography

Lisa Parker was born in Devon in 1974 and studied wildlife illustration at Bournemouth and Poole Institute of Art and Design. She spent her time painting for galleries such as the Birmingham Royal Society and taking on private commissions. Rarely seen without a sketchbook Lisa is a keen animal enthusiast. In the pursuit of reference she has been bitten by meere cats, chased by an elk and has had many close encounters with dogs! She feels that it is important to get out and study her chosen subject and will often crawl for hours through muddy bogs to capture her subjects in their natural habitat.
