Lisa Hardy's latest collection draws inspiration from the natural world and the abundant beauty of the garden, embracing a more expansive and expressive approach to painting. Influenced by the luminous palette of Monet's Pink Water-Lilies, her work moves fluidly between recognizable botanical forms and abstraction, allowing color, light, and gesture to take on equal importance with the subject itself. Soft peach tones, watery blues, and lush greens drift across each composition, creating a sense of movement, atmosphere, and quiet vitality. Through layered brushwork and an intuitive use of color, Hardy captures the fleeting beauty of nature while inviting viewers into immersive landscapes that evoke both serenity and wonder.
