http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/the-ticket/2009/11/farnham-housewife-wows-with-vi.htmlLisa Andrews is an unassuming lady with a hidden talent.
She lives quietly in suburban Surrey with her husband and two daughters, where she has a studio and gallery in their converted garage.
However, the art that she creates is anything other than quiet - she paints striking, 6ft high portraits of Thai ladyboys.
Recently, her painting Simone came in the top 2 per cent of images voted for on the new Saatchi website art competition Showdown, the online, art world equivalent of the X Factor.
