About Lisa Houston
I’m an artist based on the west coast of Scotland.
I live amidst mountains, glens and lochs and just a short drive to the open sea. The constantly changing weather brings with it a unique quality of light that washes over the landscape.
Living in these unique surroundings is what inspires my mixed media and oil paintings.
