After a devastating studio fire early last winter, Lisa hung a wooden sign that read FAITH! over the ruins, and began focusing on the positives. Nearly a year later, she paints in her bright new space under that same sign with a renewed spirit, focusing on the Biblical phrase “Beauty from ashes”. She credits her 5 decades of wonderful collectors, and her steady relationships with her galleries, museums, and show directors that supported her while all her creativity was spent rebuilding her work life. Now that Lisa finally has a brush in hand, quality over quantity will also be a challenge for an artist whose work is always in demand, but reflects a renewed desire to make every painting count. As in her life, she wants each painting to be a positive message of survival, renewal, and honoring the past to better shape the future.
