Lisa Farrell

A Path, Then Otherwise gathers a body of abstract works that explores the dynamic tension between intention and emergence, where design gives way to improvisation. Each composition unfolds through a process that is both deliberate and responsive, built in layers that record decisions, revisions, and moments of disruption. The surfaces act as sites of negotiation between precision and looseness, planning and instinct.

Lisa Farrell is a Vancouver-based visual artist who brings spontaneity and curiosity to her bold mixed media abstract paintings. She has always been artistic and originally expressed her creativity as an Interior Designer in both Vancouver and London, England. With degrees in Psychology and Interior Design, and years spent travelling and living around the world, she brings a wide worldview and a sense of history to her layered works. Largely self-taught, Farrell has consistently furthered her arts education with courses in multiple mediums in Canada, the USA, Mexico and Europe. Alongside creating her art, Farrell is invested in expanding her art community and supporting other artists.

Born in Uganda, raised in Ontario, Farrell landed in Vancouver where she currently lives with her husband and three children.
