Welcome to my web site! Most of the paintings here are inspired by
my trip to Antarctica in 1997. I have done both landscapes and icebergs.
The painting above is part of a series I’ve been working on that I call “300
Blue Whales”. I started out painting whale bones from an abandoned whaling
station in Antarctica because they were so beautiful and the place was so haunting.
When I was in Antarctica, I had hoped to see a Blue Whale but didn’t think much about it when we didn’t
see any. Recently, (now nearly 10 years since I was in Antarctica!) I found out
that there are not many more than 300 blue whales left in the Antarctic seas due to aggressive whaling in the first half of
the 20th century. I decided that I would do a series of 300 paintings
to honor these beautiful animals.
All of these paintings are for sale (unless otherwise noted as sold) - please contact
me if you are interested. In most cases, prints are available for a much smaller price. In general, prices depend
on size, framing costs (if framed), etc. Thank you for your interest! lisagoren@verizon.net
