Lisa-Marie Robinson was born in the North-East of England in 1979.

Having always had a passion for nature as well as art, she felt it only natural to combine the two and, after conventional schooling, studied Natural History Illustration and gained a BA(hons) Degree in Design and Illustration.

After graduating Lisa-Marie joined a small team of designers, creating wildlife oriental wall covering designs for the European and American markets.

In 2005 she ventured into painting (then just a hobby), but her work was very quickly in demand and is now in collections worldwide.

Her work is typically small in size and her portfolio consists of subjects such as flowers, wildlife and nature as a whole.  However, she is more widely known for her whimsical paintings of cats.

Lisa-Marie joined the Whitby Galleries stable of artists in 2008.
