Life in FULL BLOOM. In Love, We Bloom!
I invite you to join me on a vibrant journey from darkness to light. This collection of
work represents my personal odyssey through some of the most challenging periods of
my life, transformed into a celebration of resilience and hope.
Through relentless discipline and unwavering hope, I discovered that even the bleakest
moments hold the seeds of potential. This show is a testament to the power of
perseverance and the beauty that emerges when we dare to dream. Each piece is a
reflection of my path towards growth, a visual expression of the idea that no matter how
dire the circumstances, the possibility of a new beginning always exists.
The art in this exhibit is a testament to the colors of life and the boundless potential that
lies within us all. It's a reminder that our darkest days can give way to the brightest
blooms. As you experience this collection, I hope you find inspiration to embrace your
own journey and continue dreaming—because with hope in our hearts and a focus on
growth, anything is possible!
Welcome to Life in FULL BLOOM!
BIO
Raised in Red Deer, Alberta, Lisa Hau received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the
University of Calgary. A lover of food, travel, nature, and relationships, she
approaches art as a central element of self-expression: “The most beautiful thing to
me is genuine self-expression. It is ever-changing for each individual and will never go
out of style.”
Painting has been an aspect of Lisa’s wellbeing for a long time. She first turned to art after a
medical emergency in her late teen years. In the aftermath, she was astounded by the capacity
of art to help her cope with both her physical and emotional recovery; creating paintings
taught her how to face her inner dragons, and to become more patient, kind, and dedicated.
Lisa’s artistic process seek to liberate her from social expectations, using joyful colours, visual
story-telling, and dynamic markings to suggest that we can each tell the story of who we are
in a world that is both mysterious and open to change. Her pieces celebrate what it means to
be alive and connected to the world around us.
Lisa lives and paints at “Coming Home Farm", in Powell River, BC.
