    Contemporary Art Curator Magazine, Personal Art Interview of Lisa Lockett

    https://www.contemporaryartcuratormagazine.com/home-2/lisa-lockett-interview

American fine art painter Lisa Lockett lives and works in St. Louis, Missouri. Her artistic path began at age five with pencil in hand and has evolved through years of creative exploration and professional experience, including the ownership of a design firm—a pivotal chapter that refined her artistic voice and expanded her visual language. Lisa Lockett holds a Bachelor of Journalism with an emphasis in Advertising and Design from the University of Missouri–Columbia.

Working primarily in oils, Lockett explores layered textures, bold contrasts, and luminous, atmospheric light. Her paintings convey a strong sense of movement through subtle blends, sweeping gestures, and dynamic compositions that elevate the familiar into the extraordinary. She translates abstract ideas, moods, and emotions into immersive visual forms rich with emotional depth and nuance.

Lockett’s professional fine art career gained early recognition with a second-place award for The Perfect Storm at the St. Louis Artists’ Guild Members Exhibition, a national competition. Her work has since been exhibited internationally and featured in major magazines and art publications. In 2025, she received the El Greco Fine Arts Award from International Cultural Management, the Artistic Merit Certificate from La Pinacothèque Museum in Luxembourg, and a Creative Excellence Award from the Circle Foundation for the Arts’ 10th International Artist of the Month Contest. Her abstract painting Mutant was selected for the Hall of Fame exhibition at Influx Gallery in Notting Hill, London.

Drawing from both imagination and lived experience, Lockett creates visual narratives that operate on multiple levels. Her work bridges classical techniques inspired by the Old Masters with a distinctly contemporary perspective, engaging both intellect and intuition. Often guided by her subconscious, she embraces unexpected elements that emerge during the creative process, lending each piece depth, mystery, and an inner life.

My work is a conversation between the seen and the unseen—a place where memory, emotion, and intuition converge. I paint in oils because they allow me to sculpt time: layering textures, blending light, and inviting the subconscious to surface. Each piece begins as a concept or an image, evolving through movement, contrast, and the quiet dialogue between control and surrender. As I work, unexpected elements often emerge, revealing truths I did not consciously seek. My goal is not only to depict the world as it is, but to illuminate what lies beneath it—those shifting inner landscapes that connect us all.
