Lisa Laser,
Painter

I love to paint & scribble. I like black coffee, hiking, reading, binging TV, dancing, growing a garden, banging on things, getting dirty, bones and antlers, and old photographs. I prefer to walk. I am influenced by music often finding titles for my work in what I am listening to. Best things: bougainvillea, limes, the ocean, rivers, forests, brightly colored buildings, funny people, cats, dogs, 72* Fahrenheit. I paint as wells do collage, often mixing the two. I love using old magazines for my collage work, taking words and images out of context and giving them a new life. My paintings land on a wide spectrum of the natural world (humans, hummingbirds, crows, landscapes) and the inside of my head (usually social commentary and/or art as therapy). I also make papier-mâché sculpture from recycled materials.
