Lisa |
 |
||
Lisa draws on nature for inspiration. She has stacks of sketchbooks that are filled with ideas, notes, studies and all manner of creative exploration. While a student at art school sketching and conceptual designing (pre-production) became her specialty and she carried those skills over into her professional life as a conceptual designer and draftsperson for production companies in South Florida. These days, Lisa has focused more on her illustration work and writing, but her love and desire to sketch has persisted. Sometimes her sketches will activate her writing ideas and oftentimes these two disciplines will converge when formulating a more extensive idea. |

All of Lisa's paintings start with a sketch--the most important aspect of her creative delivery. It is during sketching when Lisa taps into an ineffable energy that translates into raw creativity. Many of Lisa's final paintings can be identified in the sketches. Lisa doesn't just draw a tree, but she sees the nuances in its design and the possibilities for it's evolution into a work of fantasy. Many of Lisa's trees house spirits, creatures and symbols. She looks at the world beyond a perceived reality and instead probes the possibilities of what her subjects can be and mean to the viewer. Her writing attempts to explicate these visions in a manner that makes them more tangible. Through her art and writing, Lisa is trying to capture something resonating from the soul --something that fuels her creative drive and keeps her out "in the field" sketching. |

Lisa attended the Educational Center for the Arts (ECA) in New Haven, Connecticut, during her senior year of high school. It was the first strong indication to herself and those around her that she intended to become a professional artist. |
||
In her early years as a budding artist, Lisa drew anywhere and everywhere -- from the family's kitchen to a makeshift workspace she made out of her bedroom closet. |
