LISA GRAA JENSEN RI
Lisa was born in Soborg, Denmark and trained at Sir John Cass School of Art, Whitechapel and the Camberwell School of Art where she gained a BA (Hons) Degree in Graphic Design and Book Illustration. She became a full time illustrator with BL Kearley Ltd, and has since worked for many book publishers. Since then she has become a freelance painter and illustrator of books and greetings cards.
Lisa was elected to the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1996 and was presented with the Kingsmead Award in 1997. Previously, she has won many prizes in the Royal Academy Christmas Card Competition and in 1986 won First Prize.
Her distinctive style is full of everyday detail and energetic motion. Her acute perception of, and her obvious fondness for her subjects shine through in the good nature and light- heartedness that is captured in characters we can all recognise. Her pictures brighten the dullest day and her work makes an attractive addition to any collection.
