Lisa Lockett








Lisa Lockett, an American fine art painter, began drawing at the age of five and would later own a design firm in the University Tower in Saint Louis that would eventually serve as a catalyst for her art. Lisa has become an emerging talent internationally with exhibitions online. Her work is published in Artistonish Magazine, Artistcloseup Magazine, Contemporary Art Curator Magazine, and the book Vincent Van Gogh Tribute Publication by International Cultural Management. Most Recently, Lisa was one of the artists featured in Art Investment & Collectors' Guide 2025: Most Investable and Prominent Artists by Artist Market Experts and Contemporary Art Collectors. Lisa holds a Bachelor of Journalism/Advertising and Design degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Lisa uses rich oils and deep layers to convey abstract ideas, moods, and emotions. The bold lighting and dark contrast she gives to her paintings seem to glide off the surface with fine blending and brilliance. Her subjects are derived, at times, from her imagination thus, making the ordinary extraordinary, dynamic and meaningful. Lisa incorporates techniques of the Old Masters with a twist of the modern hoping to push boundaries creatively and touch the mind and soul of the viewer. “My goal is to document moments in time and their connection to the past and future as if to make one experience the emotion of the continuum. Like a song reminiscent of time, I hope to be there with my art. I can only imagine where I will be down the road but I’m sure the journey along the way will be well worth it.”
