ELENA MADDEN

Meditative explorations of water, light, and ever-changing fluid surfaces work as inspiration. My process is drawn from memory, emotionally driven-absorbing power, energy and the beauty of my subject...later to be expressed in my studio.


Creating intuitively is liberating, in-turn the viewer is free to have their own vision, interpretation gleaned from experiences, nostalgia or see their world in a different way....

LISA LEE


Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Lisa has always had a deep love and appreciation for the ocean and the natural beauty of her surroundings. This love led her to living and running her gallery full-time in the Florida Keys where she honed her skills as an artist and became an expert in the art of Gyotaku - an ancient Japanese technique used to make prints from fish.


Lisa's artistic journey took her around the world where she studied at some of the most prestigious art schools. She spent time in Scotland where she studied at the Edinburgh College of Art focusing on abstract painting and printmaking. Her most recent travels brought her back to Japan where she studied under Master Matsunaga and his colleagues focusing solely on the art of Gyotaku. Master Matsunaga has been a profound influence on her artistic style and philosophy. There, she learned the Takuseikai technique of Gyotaku established by Master Matsunaga himself who spent more than 50 years on the direct fish print method to create a fine art style of Gyotaku that is both organic and minimalistic at the same time.
