Lisa Feyen
Lisa Feyen is a printmaker & mixed media artist that regularly explores outside conventional boundaries.
Motivated by the concepts of language, memory and identity, Lisa appropriates and manipulates found photography before moving on to the more traditional methods of printmaking. Lisa produces hybrid works in both 2D and 3D, combining print on paper with wax and found materials to reflect her fascination with the integral components of human existence and our relationship with place.
Formally trained in display design in the UK with a long CV that includes work in retail, hospitality, events, marketing and community arts, Lisa gained a Bachelor of Visual Arts & Design in New Zealand and now works as an artist and tutor in Napier.
