About the Artist

Alisa Proctor paints stylized, whimsical figures that are often depicted in conjunction with animals or sea-creatures as a way of exploring the human-animal connection and raising questions about our interaction with the natural world. She enjoys conjuring feelings of nostalgia and yearning, and dabbles in quirkiness, sarcasm and irony. A few years back Alisa spent a sabbatical year of adventure aboard a sailboat exploring the Caribbean and Central America. This time spent at sea continues to influence her - with aquatic life, and the colors of the sea finding their way into much of her work.

Although Alisa spent nearly twenty years painting murals and hand-painted furniture pieces, she now focuses on acrylic and mixed media paintings. Primarily self taught, Alisa hails from a long line of artists, and has studied art in a variety of arenas, including classes and workshops with master artists. She is a voracious reader, and enjoys collecting experiences, folk art, and textiles from around the world.

Skills: Overdeveloped need to please others, sense of humor, well-masked anxiety, workable neurosis.
