Inspired by extensive travels throughout Portugal and Spain and the beautiful azulejos found throughout these countries, artist Lisa-Maj Roos shares her fascination with these centuries old tiles, taking you on a historic journey of their magnificent colours and textures through encaustic form. ​

New work will be on display at ArtsPlace in Annapolis Royal from 07 August to 18 September 2021 in the Library Gallery or through the artist after the show. You can see the new work online.

I wanted to share my story about this painting. While not my very best work, the reaction it brought was worth a thousand words and something I will never forget. 

It is a painting of my little cousin, Lizzie, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 2. Yes, CANCER at 2 years old! At the ripe old age of 4 she had a recurrence and underwent more chemo and other surgeries and therapies. Lizzie is now 6 years old and healthy as can be!

The huge smile on her adorable face when I gave her the painting made my heart skip a beat. I love this brave little peanut to bits and so happy I could bring so much joy with something so simple as a painting.
