Go Paint on People's Lives

After only being back a couple of weeks from eastern Europe...I'm heading back out on the artistic trail to continue my creative adventures. This time I'm traveling to the last frontier: the wilderness of Alaska!

I've been asked to by a college friend to come up and connect with some artists and musicians and see what kinds of creative fun we get ourselves into. So once again I'm packing my paintbrushes and with my pack on my back I'm setting out to go love people all around the world (even in the remotest places of the United States).

What an amazing adventure I'm on!!! I love love love what I get to do!!!

Keep watch at Traveling Artist for updates, stories and photos as I head north to hit the trails, and wilderness, and the tundra, and the mountains, and the waters, and the coffee houses of the wilds of Alaska and continue partnering with God and others to paint on people's lives.

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
