Lisa Ashcroft has been drawn to the sublime but fragile beauty of the Great Barrier Reef since relocating to Australia. For her latest exhibition, Electric Coral, the artist explores the 2,300km-long ecosystem, attempting to capture the ethereal and ephemeral atmosphere of the reef while noting its disintegration. Ashcroft employs multiple layers, alchemy and textural techniques to nurture and develop the paintings in her signature style and colour palette. It is Ashcroft's hope that the work triggers debate to question plastic pollution, and why we have neglected the national treasure and contributed to its decline. She bittersweetly represents and records The Reef as it disappears from existence.

Lisa Ashcroft obtained a BA in Fine Art and Art History in Wales and further studied a Postgraduate in Art at the Cyprus College of Art. She was awarded a Fine Art Fellowship Award in New York and trained to be a teacher in the UK. Lisa has paintings exhibited both nationally and internationally displayed in commercial and private collections. Lisa has facilitated and planned art workshops for over 20 years, working with community providers including Umbrella, Townsville City Council and Headspace.
