Bio

Controlled Chaos was a term Lisa used to describe her work twenty-four years ago and in many ways it holds true today, but she refined her style by making subtle changes in ideas, theory, or methods. Her works spans a range of media, from sculpture, painting, drawing, and printmaking.

The majority of Lisa’s works are motivated by happenstance,experience, or nature. She breaks down the components of an image into uncomplicated forms, but layers the ideas into complex works and numerous pieces have an artistic architectural quality.

Lisa has only recently begun showing her work, it has proven to be award-winning and has been recognized with merit. Two of her wood-cut relief prints were published in Brandeis University’s Blacklist Journal in December 2018.

Artist Statement

I have an intuitive ability to see potential work in chance occurrences, be an experience or nature, which I document with photographs. That ability to see form and color in various subjects is exciting because images develop and reappear as an expressive interpretation in my work.
​I enjoy the process of making art; the trial and error of exploring a particular idea and discovering specific knowledge to communicate to the viewer. My work incorporates photography, painting, drawing, and relief printmaking. I have no regrets regarding my art, it’s pure joy.
