ROISIN LYST

Her work is inspired by the dynamic nature of music, atmosphere and people. Using vibrant, warm colours, she aims to evoke emotion - to transport the viewer somewhere and make them feel calm, excited or nostalgic.
Exploring themes including jazz music, dance, relationships and sentiments, and each painting is created to emulate a specific mood.
Based in Northumberland, She has been selling her work for the past 11 years, whilst living in Liverpool from 2021 - 2024, she became increasingly interested in the atmosphere of city life, particularly in jazz bars and pubs, and often would sit in a corner, observing and sketching. Some of her paintings began as one of those sketches, and others from a line of poetry, or a piece of music – inspiration strikes anywhere and everywhere, and she finds humanity constantly intriguing.
