Art...opens doors, opens cultural barriers, opens Heaven, opens healing, opens hearts!

This is what I'm made for! This is the kind of stuff I'm stepping out into...as a traveling art minister going to the nations. God is so in love with us and so willing to partner with us in our life adventure. He really does love to co-create with us. He really does speak healing through the creative arts in prophetic ways. It not just about the wonderful art we want to create on canvas, or in a song, or through a poem, or in a dance, etc....it's also about the art God wants to create within each of us...it's about really seeing that we are beautiful works of art created by God himself. This video of true events is a testimony! Art can open doors & open hearts & OPEN HEAVEN! Art is a language that speaks to the heart.

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
