Biography

(b. Orange, California) uses her practice to examine the pull of the natural world. Through movement, texture, weight she explores nature’s relation to the fragile, yet resilient landscape of the body. Like an offering, she creates pieces that allow the personality of every natural object define its use. The ritual of wearing her work may be all that is needed to recreate the connection to the natural world she first experienced as a child. Her work has been exhibited Internationally and Nationally including The Santa Reparata International School of the Arts, Florence, Italy; Precious Collective, United Kingdom; Las Laguna Gallery, Laguna Beach, California;  Agora Gallery, New York, New York; The Foundry Art Centre, Saint Charles, Missouri; Bluestem Missouri Crafts Gallery, Columbia, Missouri; Arkansas Art Center, Little Rock, Arkansas; The Octagon Center for the Arts, Ames, Iowa; IncuArts Gallery, Honolulu, Hawaii. She received her BFA in Metalsmithing/Jewelry and minor in Art History from Missouri State University. Lisa is currently pursuing an MFA in Metalsmithing/Jewelry at University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas.
