a head start…

December 29, 2008 · 10 Comments

A new year is about to unfold,
—like a blossom with petals curled tightly
concealing the beauty within.

As we make our resolutions for the year ahead,
let us go forward with great hope
that all things can be possible
—with Gods help and guidance.

    OMG I would just love to sit and watch you create for hours! This is magically beautiful, accompanied by inspiring words as usual. One of my favorite images…and that’s hard to say because I love them all 😉

    Lisa, you have taken my eyes to an entire new level of healing and hope finding your art work this year! Just when everything can sometimes appear dark and scorched your colors came along and gave my eyes food for the soul! Thank you and bless you. It is an honor to have you and your art back in my life. Patty

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
