Flora and Fauna: Art by Lisa Baechtle
Rhythm, watercolour on rag paper
Artist Lisa Baechtle works primarily in watercolour, creating bright images that draw inspiration from flora and fauna as well as the artist’s own introspection and self-awareness. Through a somewhat intuitive process, Lisa creates paintings that combine an obvious love for nature with a sense of the supernatural.

I really enjoy the colour palette that runs through Lisa’s entire gallery of Wild Soul Paintings. Lisa’s painting style is one that shows a certain amount of reverence for the slight imperfections and blurred edges that are an inherent part of the medium, yet the artist still creates each work with a great eye for detail. Lisa paints her wildlife subjects with a beautifully controlled hand, while allowing space for wild abandon in her colourful, blended backgrounds.
Lisa also produces custom pet portraits, on a commission basis. The artist’s skill with fine detail really shines in these pieces, where the artist manages to capture not only the physical features of a pet, but the pet’s personality.
