about

With my love for storytelling and creating atmospheres, I specialize in painting fictional people and animals in a way that captures their essence. I like to create art with vibrancy and energy, which evoke emotion and inspire the imagination. 

​

I am a 23 year old artist from Northumberland, England, until recently based in Liverpool. I have been creating from a young age, experimenting with lots of media and styles, but in 2023 I fell in love with acrylic paint and haven't looked back. I'm particularly inspired by relationships and atmospheric scenes, and I hope you have fun interpreting my art! My other love is animals; my calm, colourful paintings of wildlife are an homage to my childhood drawing horses and cheetahs on repeat.

​

In my spare time I enjoy riding horses and entertaining my little pet bird, Howie. You can find out more about my process and what I get up to on a daily basis over on instagram, at @roisinlyst .

As well as the paintings you can see here, I also do commissioned watercolour pet portraits. For more information on these, please visit www.roisinlystart.co.uk .
