Floral Abundance

Lisa Mee (b.1974, American) “Floral Abundance” (2020) is an original mixed media work in acrylic, metallic paint and paper on canvas. It measures 30 (horizontal) x 24 (vertical) inches unframed and is hand signed in the lower left. The piece is on stretch canvas and ready to hang. This still life bouquet of flowers consists of boldly colored blossoms and leaves enhanced by metallic paints that sprout and grow out of a patterned bowl that contrasts with its contents. Since flowers themselves are impermanent, capturing them on canvas is Lisa’s way to preserve them.
A native of the New York-New Jersey area, contemporary artist Lisa Mee creates mixed media paintings that integrate metallic paints, papers, fabrics, and metals. She endeavors to create a luminous appearance of light and depth with a stained glass and mosaic appearance in her paintings. She has been inspired by her husband, artist Wayne Ensrud, and his mentor, Oskar Kokoschka, as well as masters, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. Her art has been exhibited by the International Art Museum of America in San Francisco CA, an institution that has purchased examples of her work. Mee is represented by several art galleries and has exhibited in many more. Lisa’s unique works have been acquired by numerous important art collectors in New York City as well as Europe and are found in both corporate and private collections.
