My story
From Fashion to Fine art
Beginning
Hello, I'm Lissie, and I'm passionate about turning old and discarded items into distinctive art pieces. This journey started with my parents, who were enthusiastic collectors. Our family weekends often involved exploring house sales, car boot sales, and antique fairs. While I collect cigarette cards, my studio brims with a variety of vintage and found treasures.
Peter Blake is renowned as a collector and is one of my favourite artists.

Background
After graduating from an MA at Central St Martins, I had a career in fashion, selling to celebs and working in TV. But my passion for textiles led me to freelance work and later to developing fine art pieces,
China and Mexico
In 2010, our family, with two young children, moved to Shanghai, China with my husband's job. Four years later, we relocated to Mexico City. We returned to the UK in 2018, and these incredible journeys have greatly influenced my work in terms of colour, texture, and themes.
