It's all in the details.
It is difficult to determine how many hours that Lisa put into making each sculpture. Art was her passion from sunup until sundown, whether she was creating sculptures, sewing a new outfit, or making dinner. Immersed in the beauty and wonder of creating, she didn't count the hours...there was no "there" to get to. The joy was in the process. And, sometimes after working weeks on particular piece she would unceremoniously toss it into the trash for no apparent reason. Lisa's passion for living life was so strong ("I'm busy being," she would say) that even cutting a tomato was, for Lisa, an artistic adventure as she lifted a slice of tomato to the sunshine exclaiming, "Ron! Come look! Isn't this beautiful?"
On this page you will find some closeups of the details in her works of art. A seashell might become a seamonster's ear. Pennies become eyes. Forks become hands. The remarkable detail of each piece is in and of itself a marvel to behold. Whimsical, and at the same time thought-provoking, her sculptures stir the heart and consciousness of our being, each revealing a mystery within our souls.

In the Beginning
This unfinished piece was one of the last works that Lisa began just months before her death in June 2012 at the age of 77 years old. It is lovingly dubbed "In the Beginning" by her daughter, Summer. It is a revealing piece in that it shows her process in developing the base. A bit of this, a little of that, building the figure that would become the next wonder of her life's exhibit. It was found atop a plastic bin of odds and ends, glue and scraps that were intended to be incorporated in the sculpture.
Lisa's passion for creating did not stop until June 18 when she could no longer lift her hands or her head. Three days later she was cremated in an outfit that she had created and sewn just a month before she passed. Until they finally closed, her extraordinary blue eyes never stopped sparkling with love and enthusiasm for life.
