Bio
Lisa lives and works in Olympia, WA.
Her narrative batiks are expressions of her own experiences, often tinged with nostalgia as she explores her past, her role as a mother, and literally sews stories together with ancestral threads. Her pieces explore the emotive landscape that we inhabit. The imagery, patterns, and faceless stick figures represent her life as well as invite the viewer to bring their own story to the pieces with the hopes of sparking conversation and connection.
Primarily self-taught, Lisa has been working with the medium of batik over 25 years, pushing the boundaries of a craft into an art. She travels the country exhibiting the work which has garnered many awards.
