DREAM BOAT
Lisa, the artist, masterfully transforms thrifted and discarded items into a captivating, organic image that flows with beachy colors, reminiscent of ocean waves. She envisions a traveler skillfully navigating through delicate layers of chiffon and golden feathery textures. As you observe the artwork, you can feel a comforting wind moving through the materials, with warm hues of colors flowing from left to right. Fragments of vintage maps and compasses guide this journey, while geometric lines contrast beautifully with the organic waves created by her chosen materials. From rope and cut belts to faux leaves and sewing thread, Lisa's surprising selection—including table mats, wood, and feathers—adds depth to her artwork.
Hidden Garden
This art piece transforms discarded objects into a vibrant, living canvas, embodying the paradox of life emerging from waste. The materials—paper towels, cling wrap, and garden refuse—symbolize humanity’s tendency to overlook the potential in discarded elements. By repurposing these items, the artwork critiques wastefulness while celebrating the regenerative power of creativity.
At the center of the piece, dark circular forms represent the universe's eternal cycle—the unseen forces driving growth and decay. These shapes, bold and mysterious, act as portals to the vast cosmos behind the visible world. Around these circles, layers of greenery, textured paper towels, and translucent cling wrap are arranged to evoke the thriving, chaotic beauty of nature. Garden refuse—leaves, stems, and fragments—creates a visceral, organic texture, bringing life to what was once perceived as dead or useless.
The juxtaposition between the organic and the artificial serves as a metaphor for coexistence. While the greenery symbolizes life, the industrial materials like cling wrap hint at humanity’s role in altering natural cycles. The dark circles ground the piece in a deeper philosophical framework: the universe as a continuous cycle of creation and destruction.
Ultimately, the artwork is an invitation to reflect on renewal and the inherent potential in all things. It bridges the gap between waste and wonder, urging viewers to reconsider their relationship with the discarded and to imagine a future where art, nature, and life are intertwined.
Oceans
Lisa was commissioned with two words from the client, "ocean" and "blue." This was a VIP client so she wanted to do her biggest piece yet and he had no idea what he was in for. Standing almost larger than her, Lisa gathered everything she could see that would signify movement. Every small element is catered to with the upmost detail with carefully laid out sparkling materials. The list of materials is in the tens if not the hundreds. Signature to her style, the piece pops and intrudes, waving like puddles and moving like the sea. From old, thrifted ceramic plates to contents so seemingly trivial as cotton balls and ripped up paper towel, every portion speaks water. "My intention is that the viewer never get bored. They have something new to see every time they look. They can truly take a break from life, breathe, and delve within the piece."
