Lisa has devoted her life to art. She was born in the artist's colony of La Jolla, California, where her father named her Lisa Danielle because ... "if she's going to be an artist, she's got to have a great name." With both of her parents being artists, she was provided plenty of encouragement. Lisa makes her home in Sedona, Arizona. Surrounded by the awesome beauty of the West, Sedona has given fuel to her creative fire. "It's added so many dimensions to my work that I don't know if I'd be able to do what I do and do it this well if I hadn't lived here." Lisa's still life art creates both a heart warming and fascinating story of the way of life in the romantic American West. In some of her work, there's a special touch that gives a twist to the piece. "It's the little oddball pieces that round out a painting like little advertising things, playing cards, jewelry, broaches or shaving mugs." Lisa's precise detail will catch a person's imagination and draw them into the piece. The bead work on the moccasins or the clarity of the photograph are aspects that make someone want to figure out the story behind the painting. This detail is achieved through her full bodied complementing colors, depth and perspective, and fall of light and shadows. Lisa's work has been exhibited in the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, The Frederick Remington Art Museum in Ogdensburg, N.Y., The Colorado Springs Fine Art Center and The Holter Museum of Art in Helena, Montana. She has also been listed in Contemporary Western Artists, Arizona Galleries and their Artists, and Artists of Arizona. |
