About

Lisa Bourque is an emerging artist currently living in Edmonton, Alberta. Working primarily in oil painting, she seeks to explore her own experiences with loss and the grief that follows. Her self portraits and still lives explore an alternate world that she has created, with alien-like figures exploring and interacting with seemingly mundane hoarded objects in a way that makes them seem almost sublime. Her works have recently been shown in the CARFAC artWORK/netWORK exhibition in Edmonton, as well as at the New York Academy of Art summer residency exhibition in New York City.
