Hi, I’m Lisa! I’m an illustrator and calligrapher, and after twenty years of raising a family I have reignited my passion for art. I love to bring whimsy to the eyes of the viewer and hope to capture your attention with my vibrant cards and canvases.

I graduated from the Philadelphia College of Art with my B.F.A. in illustration. I went on to illustrate two children’s books, Wally The Wordworm and The Giggle and Cry Book. I later became a full-time calligrapher at Hobbs and Tolley Studios in Washington, D.C., and then went on to become a sign artist at Trader Joes. In 2003, my family and I made the decision to move to Centerton, AR for new opportunities. Over the last four years I have been exhibited in 211 Cafe and pursued an artist business mentorship program called Art Inc. to further my career as a working artist.

I am excited to bring my passion to fruition and to share my creations with the world!
