The Artist
Lisa Axiotis is a Melbourne multidisciplinary artist and designer. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Multimedia and a life-long love affair with painting, Lisa’s experience in both worlds has filtered through to her current practice.
With her extensive production experience, Lisa is also an exhibiting fine-artist. Working in a range of media, Lisa’s meticulously detailed work has been exhibited nationally and is housed in private collections across Australia.
ARTIST STATEMENT – UNIVERSAL AESTHETICS
