Lisa Takahashi

Lisa Takahashi is a painter and printmaker based in Taunton, Somerset. Her practice spans linocut, watercolour, oil painting and drawing. Her work is inspired by familiar scenes of the everyday; subject matter that she uses as a starting point for exploring colour, shape and mark-making. Since completing a Fine Art Degree at Middlesex University, Lisa has exhibited her prints and paintings regularly across the UK, including at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, The Society of Women Artists, The New English Art Club, The Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. Lisa has taught relief printmaking regularly for the past 7 years, and was responsible for devising linocut classes at Spike Print Studio in Bristol. She is also a regular writer for the Jackson’s Art Blog. In 2018 she reached the semi-final of Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year, and is a judge on the forthcoming series of the revived cult classic Watercolour Challenge.
