In an ongoing series of acrylic on wood paintings, artist Lisa Ericson conjures fantastical hybrid animals, or chimeras, that only exist in her vivid imagination.

Based in Portland, Oregon, Ericson studied painting at Yale but embarked on a career in illustration and graphic design before returning to painting in 2013. To see more wonderful art from Lisa check her out at the links below!
