Live Gently Upon This Earth
About Lisa
I am an artist and passionate environmentalist living in a small seaside town in the South of England. My life is currently made up of cuddles with my son, growing vegetables and flowers, filling bird feeders, walking through forests, lazy baking and savouring solitary moments.
I create artwork inspired by my passion for living gently and compassionately, being kind to ourselves, our Earth and the animals we share it with. My work illustrates my own journey through 10 years of plant based, sustainable living, my transition in to motherhood and the mental health challenges I have faced and continue to work through.
ReKINDle by Lisa is not just a shop. It is a little corner of the internet where I can share my thoughts and feelings, educate, create and develop a kind online community of like minded people.

Art For Change
The biggest fuel for my artwork is promoting gentle living for our Earth, Our Wellbeing and the wonderful Animals who live alongside us. I paint about healing the Earth, caring for the animals and being kind to ourselves.
We have one precious Earth and one precious life to do our bit to leave it healthy for future generations.
As someone who loves to create, the issue of creating new items has been a tricky thing to navigate. I love making new art, but I didn't want to abuse the planets resources. I didn't want to encourage over consumerism and be 'salesy' and I didn't want to use products that could harm the planet and its wildlife.
I decided to focus my energy on re using, re cycling and up cycling.
I use materials that are often discarded to paint on, giving them a new life, avoiding landfill and avoiding using new materials to create art. I paint on second hand denim jeans and jackets, reclaimed hardboard and plywood, wood off cuts, recycled paper, used cardboard from postal packaging and, If I cannot find recycled watercolour paper, I opt for FSC certified always.
Plant based Recipes
I have been plant based since 2015! Before switching to a whole foods vegan diet, I hated cooking! I found it a bit yucky and really uninspiring. Pretty much as soon as I began my journey as a whole foods vegan, I found a deep love for cooking and creating my own recipes! Food was suddenly a whole lot more fun, colourful, tasty and vibrant!

Enjoy! I hope these recipes inspire you!
