Surface Design Portfolio Lisa Downes

About

Lisa is a self-taught artist and designer from Ireland. She is mainly inspired by the natural world. She loves to capture the essence of the beauty in what she sees, and how it makes her feel. When not in the studio designing she’s out roaming the forests, hills and formal gardens all around her home looking for inspiration. Lisa’s style is vibrant and stylised; a little bit classic and very detailed.

Amaranthine

Amaranthine is inspired by that forever feeling; that 'knowing', that while plants and trees individually are finite, that they are nevertheless enduring. They disappear in the Autumn as their cycle comes to an end but we know they will again bloom and blossom come Springtime, so in essence they are everlasting.

Fabulous Funghi

We’re mushroom foragers in my house, though I’m still learning to distinguish the safe from the dangerous. This collection is inspired by mushrooms and funghi we find in the woods and fields.
