The Artist
Lisa-Maj Roos is a self taught Swedish-Canadian artist specializing in oils, encaustics, and chalk pastels. Inspired by her many travels around Canada and the world, each new journey becomes a template for her artwork; a colourful voyage captured by her distinctive style and artistic expression.
After having established herself as an artist in Calgary, Alberta, Lisa-Maj now resides in the Annapolis Valley in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia, devoting herself full time in the pursuit of making art within her second floor studio gallery — just steps from the Annapolis River basin and the Bay of Fundy.
Currently represented in Halifax by 14 Bells Fine Art Gallery in the historical Hydrostone Market. Member of Visual Arts Nova Scotia and ARCAC. Past affiliations include the Federation of Canadian Artists, Leighton Art Centre and Untitled Art Society; with representation in Calgary by FosterMak, Midtowne Gallery, artUP Calgary, and artsASTRAY.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Under the tutelage of several great artists for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration; I am eternally grateful for all your hard work and patience. Each of you have had a huge part in my development as an artist and I could not have done it without you! To Liliana Poriazova, for seeing something in my work that encouraged me to continue as a serious artist. To Val, for his honesty and love, and for giving up his man-cave in lieu of a studio. Lastly, and most importantly, for my Dad, who always said I should be painting. I miss him.
