In this episode, Dangerosa, aka Lisa Buchanan, talks about why she chose her artistic name, how niche film directors and musicians have influenced her oeuvre as much as other artists, the importance of a local artist residency in kickstarting her career, how her photorealistic paintings incorporate romanticism, horror, and surrealism, and how working with high-profile artists such as Damien Hirst and Sir Michael Craig-Martin has inspired her.
