Excerpt from Artist’s Statement:

“I learned long ago that attention to serious art (or writing) does not mix well with society. To obtain one-hundred-percent attention, many creatives need to disconnect from the outside world. I never realized what a gift these ‘traits of an artist’ could be until this era of Covid pandemic. While many people struggled through extended periods of isolation, I dove into various creative projects.

Two people live inside of me. One interacts with society, remembers to pay the bills, nudges me to attend events (pre-covid), and keeps an eye on international news. My artistic psyche, however, requires the removal of almost all outside distractions. Some would say that the left side of the brain takes a nap so that the right side can focus on creative tasks. There’s a subtle switch of gears, somewhat like shifting down from interstate driving to a stroll along a garden path. I pick up my pencil or brush, and
almost instantly the outside world vaporizes.

Art often transports me through a magic portal; time seems to stop as if I’ve stepped into another realm. After a long session of painting, I am sometimes surprised to find that the day has weaned to night – or the night has weaned to morning. I am often exhausted as if there were a complete transfusion of my energies into the painting.

Drawing, unlike painting, is like meditation with my eyes open. It’s easy to pause, take a break and then resume. Serenity lives there, and almost instantly the rhythm of the previous session casts a zen sort of spell. An intense feeling of peace washes over me – as if there is hope for our troubled world. The pencil and paper connect me to a neutral space of immense comfort…”

“Lisa shares her profound connection with the natural world through writings and water-media paintings of flora and fauna. She usually works in watercolor for small studies and switches to acrylics for larger works.”

Concerned with the rapid deforestation in Ecuador’s provice of Manabi, she tries – when possible – to call attention to our planet’s failing health. The landscape has been greatly altered in the ten years she has lived there, and losing the canopy also affects the climate and a rapid decline of species.
