Lisa Betournay is a Massachusetts based self taught surrealism artist working primarily in acrylics. Her paintings are visceral, colorful, dark, and deep capturing both the macabre and playful dualities of life. Lisa has done art shows from coast to coast and dualities of lifes and live paints at pop up art shows and music festivals regularly.
Art has morphed into a way for Lisa to process her relationships and life experiences; it’s her zen, her most beloved passion and practice.

If she lived in her usual routine, Lisa feels she would have been susceptible to substance abuse, and that’s not what She wanted

Lisa chose “it’s easier to destroy than it is to create” as her guide to use her energy to create and never to destroy, and she is now an artist because of it
