Meet Lisa
I was the kid that spent hours on the cover of a book report & fifteen minutes actually writing about the book. I was the kid that kept herself distracted in doodles that captured my imagination. Some girls went to ballet or ice skating lessons. Some were mad for dress-up, make-up, boys and love songs. A blank sheet of paper is what did it for me! And still does!
My Passion for Good
The satisfaction, peace & pleasure I experience while creating keeps me grounded, light-hearted & real. I am a self-taught artist. I’m continually surprised when lines, like little miracles, take on a life of their own. They turn, twist, and wriggle themselves into being. ”My people“ They become contributing characters that express themselves in ways we all might be able to relate to. My inspirations come from real life and experiences.
These characters and people I create are painted from my gut feelings and encounters with people. They reassure as I manage my own encounters with depression.
Art For a Cause
I’m passionate about spreading mental health awareness and look for ways to help others through their personal struggles. As I sell my work I donate a portion of the proceeds to support mental wellness initiatives and donate art work to fundraisers. Donations are made to caringcontact.org, the Lyons Veterans Hospital, The National Alliance on Mental Illnesses , Rotary Club of Greenville, Triune Mercy Center Greenville, Gateway House Inc.
