Vale the great Shane MacGowan. I absolutely loved painting this portrait of Shane in 2017. So much character in his face, life and work. My father is a big fan of The Pogues and introduced me to his music quite early in my life, so it meant a great deal to be asked to paint this work ♥️ @shanemacgowanofficial #shanemacgowan #thepogues #lisadottore

It was a true honour to be part of this show, celebrating 30 years of @mindsnare Special thanks to @callumpreston the brainchild behind the whole operation and @otcbytrueeast for holding such an incredible event. Thank you to everyone who came and supported, shared stories and for all the kind words 🙏🏻🖤 My painting “In Reach Of No Man” SOLD

Im absolutely thrilled to announce I have some work in this spectacular show! Many of you may not be aware I’ve suffered an injury that’s put me out of action for the last 6 months. I have been unsure if I’d ever be able to paint again or in the way I know how. I’ve been slowly figuring out a new way to do things with the help of my fantastic medical team and have managed to pull together something for this show. I couldn’t be more excited to show my support, with so many incredible artists, and celebrate @mindsnare a band I have loved seeing for about 27 of those 30 years! To coincide with Mindsnare’s 30 year anniversary shows in Melbourne, we are proud to announce Total Overload; a group art show of Mindsnare-inspired works by over 40 Australian artists. With the blessing of Mindsnare, Total Overload is organised and curated by Callum Preston & Patrick Galvin as a “for the fans, by the fans” initiative. As creatives, Preston & Galvin wanted to recognise the impact and influence of the band. 30 years of being a band is a massive achievement, and as tribute, artists from all over Australia, across a variety of mediums, have made the time to produce amazing, Mindsnare-related works; all for sale at the show. The exhibition will also feature personal archival items from the band. Opens Friday, Oct 6th, 5-8pm Saturday, Oct 7th, 3-8pm Sunday, Oct 8th from 12-4pm On The Corner Gallery: 82 Stanley St Collingwood. The show is made possible with the support of @otcbytrueeast @shoutoutloudprint @balterbrewers @heapsnormal @callumpreston @hollowbonesco #totaloverload #mindsnare

I’ve recently come into possession of my old drawing folio of work from my Art School days between 1996-1998. Most people aren’t aware that I never studied painting, I’m mostly self taught in that department but what I did actually major in was Printmaking and Jewellery. Where I did build all my foundations and love of portraiture were in my life drawing classes 🖤

First day in the studio for 2023 🎉

After 2 years, I’ve finally finished! Thank you to my gorgeous model and inspiration @1800angelbaby

It got messy. #selfportraiture

Finally getting back into it 🎨! First paint for 2021 and freakishly enough I started this painting exactly a year ago today!

I’m currently setting up a new studio space so am selling off some pieces I’ve held onto. I will post them in my stories for anyone interested in purchasing. Feel free to DM with any enquires 😊

Lots of birthday love to my muse and all round amazing human @caltexcowgirll 🎉👏🏻 #lisadottore
