Artist Statement
“My approach to my work is both intentional and serendipitous. Prior to creating a piece, I meditate on what I am trying to achieve. I keep this intention in mind throughout the creative process. I have a basic intent for each piece, but do not plan every detail in the beginning. I remain open to intuition and the flow of creativity during the process. I believe I can create a more meaningful and successful piece of art by working in this manner. The process inspires me and connects me to my spiritual nature. It is my intent to inspire that feeling in those who view my work.”
Lisa is primarily a self-taught artist, who pursued art after a career in human resource management. While she enjoyed helping others to be successful in the workplace, she realized her passion for creating art had been buried in the process. She chose to make a full-time commitment to her art and left the corporate world in 1999. Lisa was inspired to focus on textiles because she enjoys their tactile qualities and is entranced by the drape and gentle movement of cloth with the air. She studied a range of surface design techniques and has worked many hours experimenting with new techniques and perfecting her craft. Lisa's work has been on exhibit throughout the United States and internationally. She currently facilitates art workshops at the Southwest School of Art and Craft and ArtCloth Studios in San Antonio, Texas and at the Majestic Ranch Arts Foundation in Boerne, Texas.
