About

Greetings!

I’m Lisa and I have been creating all my life! Acrylic, oil, pastel, watercolor, digital, book making, paint pouring and so on. ART is my PASSION, and recently, Surface Pattern Design has captured my full attention.

I grew up in Guyana, the only English speaking country in South America, surrounded by tropical jungle and the most exotic flowers. My mother would take a basket into our garden to gather sprays of orchids for her “belle arrangement” for that day’s floral surprise. She instilled in me a love of nature and encouraged my creativity in every way.

I am a tropical girl with a penchant for vibrant colors and a range of subject matter. My recent collections focus on floral images, not specifically tropical, but a blend from geographic regions. You will see hibiscus, cherry blossoms, lilies, orchids and more.

I credit Bonnie Christine’s 2022 Immersion class with catapulting me into this new world. Designing patterns feels like the culmination of my artist’ journey so far, and I am excited to explore this new path.

If you are interested in a custom design, I can create patterns for your home, office, RV, etc... while complimenting colors, existing designs, shapes or textures. Another fun facet of Surface Pattern Design is that I can transform your budding Picasso’s artwork into wallpaper or a duvet cover and more. If your space is small or large or covered in pink, my favorite color, I can work with that!

I draw inspiration from the beautiful landscape of Northern Michigan, the tropical richness of my original home in South America and other amazing cultures around the world that I have visited.

If you don’t like anything you see I’d love to know why and if you love all of it, please feel free to let everyone else know.

Thanks, make it a creative day!

Lisa
