Métis artist, Lisa Delorme Meiler’s work is imaginative. She draws from her life experiences and is inspired by nature, moods and memories, which are transformed into atmospheric landscapes and abstract depictions. She is able to translate her work into a visual form of storytelling that is vivid and expressive. Using pigment, paint and light into a visual window of an infinite moment in time.

It was such a great pleasure to have Lisa Delorme Meiler’s work grace the walls of Neechi Commons from January to mid-March of this year. Lisa’s landscape images are filled with an emotion and power that mix and meld across the canvases in thoughtful brush strokes. Lisa’s work lent a beautiful magical atmosphere to our mezzanine gallery. It has the ability to encompass and draw in all of our patrons, from every economic background and social area, reminding people of home, or the north, of a dream, or a wish… It will be a great pleasure to host another event with new works of Lisa’s. I hope she’s busy painting.”
— Arlea Ashcroft, Operations Manager & Curator, Neechi Niche—Neechi CommonsHaving Lisa Delorme Meiler involved with the Building Leaders in Women of Tomorrow has provided young Aboriginal girls and women with the opportunity to express their inner voice through creative outlets. Lisa’s artistic influence and genuine heart has created a platform for these women; a platform from which to build skills and showcase leadership within their own community. I am a firm believer that strong women means strong communities and with the involvement of a profound artist such as Lisa Delorme Meiler, young girls and women are empowered and impacted in a truly significant way”.
— Jana Gauthier, Building Women Leaders of Tomorrow Co-ordinatorLisa Delorme Meiler is an emerging artist whose exciting work is currently on the “watch list”. She premiered at Art Expo in 2014, and has proven to be an artist worth watching. Meiler’s nature and imagination-themed, colourful abstract art catches the attention of her viewers. Her powerful paintings stir the emotions and and tell stories of Meiler’s views of the gifts nature and life provide. A “doodling storyteller” as a child, Meiler grew up and joined the graphic arts business and has in the last few years branched out into expressing herself on canvas as well. Her first official public showing took place at Neechi Commons in Spring 2014, and then she thrilled Art Expo visitors at a successful showing in October 2014.
