Quickly emerging as a professional artist, she's become recognized as the creator of PaletteArt™, a new art form using 100% acrylic recycled paint to sculpt 3D one of a kind international award winning paintings.
Featured as a Modern Art Master & Top Contemporary Artist in magazines, books & exhibitions all over the world. Her work hangs in private & museum collections next to the likes of Picasso, Renoir & Dali. She is now helping other artists and getting them involved in paint recycling.
She has developed numerous techniquessculpting recycled dried up paint from artist’s palettes. Nothing is wasted, even the paint washed off brushes is used. Lisa is creating everything from canvas to sculpture, fashion and jewelryusing re-cycled paint and salvaged materials. Beside her raw talent, what’s valuable is that none of these works can be duplicated.
LJLevasseur’s artwork is a call to action representing how everyday things we might think nothing of throwing away, can be made valuable if re-purposed.
“I am moved by the actions, history and events that shape mankind, by nature or anything that touches the human spirit. It translates into all this energy, which I can express in a positive way through artwork; I only hope it inspires the same passion, love and hope in others.” - LJLevasseur
How does it make you feel that you are a nominee for the Global Art Awards? I am truly humbled and thrilled, this gives me a stronger voice and greater opportunity for my message to be heard.
What drives you?
My connection to animals and nature, my experiences and empathy towards loss, pain and suffering through a crippling disease and a strong desire to make a positive impact in this world.
What is your definition of art?
Anything that represents the inward significance of things, the good, the bad, everything beautiful and ugly in this world and all we can imagine. - Love
Where do you get your inspiration?
From everything, everywhere and all I experience. I wish, even if I had all the freedom in the world to just paint, never in a million years, could I paint all the ideas in my head.
Can you tell us what you have going on right now?
I am preparing for international exhibitions, teaching other artists paint recycling and offering representation to help raise money for important charities.
