Note: Aliisa was born in 1957 of Finnish and Scottish parentage. She attended college in Portsmouth, obtaining a BA Hons in Fine Art, Drawing and Painting, in 1981. Since then she has lived and worked in Edinburgh, developing her own particular style of figurative painting with its mix of joy and melancholy. Aliisa describes her paintings as a world somewhere 'between reality and imagination'. Many of her images have been made into cards and published by Canns Down Press and she achieves prolific print sales. Aliisa has also illustrated book covers, which include novels by Sarah Dykins, Sara Sefchovich and a poetry collection by Marinella Frani in Italy. Her work is frequently exhibited at front line galleries throughout the UK.
