Lisa Tuchek will display her artwork at Emerald Isle Parks & Recreation, 7500 Emerald Drive in Emerald Isle, North Carolina during the month of May.

Lisa Tuchek is a North Carolina native and graduate of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Painting, for Lisa, was just a hobby until she relocated from Nashville, TN, to Beaufort, NC, in 2008. Here, in lovely coastal Carolina, she became inspired by the beautiful sea and shore creatures in the area and incorporated this inspiration into some fun, colorful and whimsical paintings. Her painting hobby quickly turned into a painting career after the community took notice of her work. Lisa was asked to display her paintings in a local restaurant, Beaufort Grocery Company, in 2010, and much to her surprise, she began selling a lot of work! Since then, Lisa has had numerous group and solo shows, is now a resident artist in 2 local restaurants and has her work in several galleries on the North Carolina coast - including: Handscapes Gallery and the Mattie King Davis Gallery in Beaufort, NC; River to Sea Gallery in Wilmington, NC; and Pea Island Gallery, Salvo, NC, on Hatteras Island. Lisa has begun leading private painting workshops to groups and individuals and is now part of the art instructor team at Blu Sail Gallery, in Morehead City, NC.


She loves to create colorful acrylic paintings and enjoys using a variety of mixed media elements to produce interest and textures that add a fun mystery to her work. Her paintings are continually changing and evolving as she explores new and varied subject matter and discovers new techniques to apply in her process. She loves to play and experiment and finds that new ideas are spontaneously generated just by letting go and having fun with her work.
