VineArts Exhibit: "The Creator's Heart"

This last week was the submission dates for our new art exhibit in the VineArts Gallery. Most of our art shows are themed and juried. I'm the coordinator of the installations (they call me "The Grand Gallery Grunt") and so along with our VineArts Director, I have a huge part in each of the exhibits. The Director and I work together from designing and printing entry packets, to sending artists emails and making phone calls, to creating signs, to taking in the artwork submissions, to administrating jury day, to typing up and printing artist statements, to leading a team of "Gallery Grunts" to install the show (which is quite a huge undertaking in and of itself), to designing advertisement postcards, to planning and producing the opening receptions.

Today we had the Opening Reception

for a new art exhibit called: "The Creator's Heart".

It was a chance for the artists to mingle with those who came to view the show. We had live music and refreshments.

I made a short video for you. The show will be up for about 2 months.

walking through walls and the creative conversation

I believe art is a language that transcends all language barriers. It's able to get past the walls of cultural differences, age, race, gender, religion, politics, economic standing, education, distance, even time. Creativity is like a conversation. There are conversations going on all the time. Conversations with the artist and the work, with the artist and the Divine, with the artist and nature, with the artist and humankind, with the artist and self. Creativity allows me to come alongside others and enter into the conversations that are already happening. I love listening to conversations. If I'm invited into the conversations this brings about collaboration. Collaboration is an invitation to the sharing of ideas and it's a huge part of building relationship. I believe humankind is a relational people. We need each other. I believe we were created that way by a creative God who is all about relationship with us. And I believe we've been given creativity as a language to relate to each other with. When we connect into the conversation through creativity and allow for collaboration, we are helping to build community together and this fosters relationship. And the walls become invisible between us.

what others are saying about me:

"I love watching her audience as Lisa paints before their eyes. When she's done, people come up and take pictures, and many spontaneously share the meaning the art has for them personally, often in tears. Lisa's artwork is beyond profound; she's in tune with people's spirits."

-Jessie Nilo, Director of VineArts

"Lisa is so strong, and she knows so many techniques and so many people. In all that she does, she exposes people's hearts and opens them up. It's very comforting to have a friend like Lisa."

-Lukas Evergreen, performing artist
