Day Five: Lisette Forsythe

Lisette is a Cape Town-based artist who studied Graphic Design at The Cape Technikon, majoring in photography and printmaking. She has worked in multiple creative fields across Europe and Australia before coming back to South Africa and setting up her own studio in Woodstock.

Lisette has exhibited widely with solo and group shows across the country as well as internationally: “I paint to fill the need to create. Constantly experimenting with media and subject matter.  The compulsion to recycle pushes me towards mixed media. Cape Town and its people provide contradictions and contrasts to work from. Every day is an inspiration.

The need to revel and reflect life’s beauty drives me to create.
To share the delight in the seemingly ordinary”.
