- LOVER OF ART
- Lisa started making art and letters to avoid having a real job and now passionately pursues lettering of all types on all surfaces. She's a lettering artist and instructor in calligraphy and mixed media. Lisa teaches workshops and classes internationally specializing
- in lettering on fabric,
- experimental lettering and the creative process.
She is a self titled Letterista, somewhat a rebel and her unique style has landed her on the faculty of ten international lettering conferences and she teaches at collage, quilting and alternative arts conferences nationwide. In 2006 Lisa introduced new multi- media classes at the International Quilt Show in Houston, Texas. She is interested not only in classical letterforms but also alternative surfaces for lettering and current street influences on modern calligraphy. Lisa has never followed the rules of the lettering art world and prides herself on this fact. She has translated this attitude to her work and teaching methods. She is a frequent contributor to Somerset Studios and her work on fabric was featured on the covers of Legacies and Quilting Arts magazines. She is currently creating a graffiti diversion program in her city of Long Beach, California
- and has designed her first tattoo!
In 2010 Lisa was a presenter at TypeCon, an international type conference. Her work is featured in theSpring 2011 Somerset Workshop, the Fall issue of Cloth Paper Scissors and the newly released book,
- Art Saves by Jenny Doh
Lisa is the author of the best selling book from Rockport /Quarry Publishing, Modern Mark Making, from Classic Calligraphy to Hip Lettering. ( The just released paperback version has a brand new title-Modern Calligraphy and Hand Lettering-but the same goodness inside!)
