{"product_id":"the-places-we-return-to","title":"The Places We Return To","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeisa is an abstract landscape artist whose pieces blend both realism and abstract interpretation. Her work seeks to convey a landscape which exists beyond time, place, and memory. Through subtle use of light and shade, Leisa hopes the viewer is taken to a place in distant memory; a place of transcendent evocation that resonates with their experience; a place both known and unknown. Her work is intuitive , one which is both an amalgamation of stored memories of the natural world and a glimpse into a place beyond landscape. Throughout her life, Leisa witnessed her mother's struggles with significant mental illness and the courage required to walk this often unseen journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow Leisa on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/leisaogorman.art\/\" title=\"Follow Leisa on Instagram.\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/eliflyntart\" title=\"Follow Elisa on Instagram.\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and check out her \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/leisaogorman.com\" title=\"Check out Leisa's website\"\u003ewebsite\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are places we return to where we can find respite from the chaos of the world; where we can find peace that surpasses understanding. For me, the natural world beckons when life is too much, and returning -  if only in my mind - provides balm to a frazzled mind and spirit. Capturing time spent in New Zealand, this piece reminds me of long hikes across mountain passes; places I feel free, hopeful, and strong.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leisa O'Gorman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46098599903439,"sku":null,"price":1250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/3073\/3007\/files\/LEISAO-2.jpg?v=1788743554","url":"https:\/\/recoveredfuturesshop.rfq.com.au\/products\/the-places-we-return-to","provider":"Richmond Fellowship Queensland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
