ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: LISA

Lisa is a florist who specializes in funeral arrangements. She pursues a number of creative outlets, the most famous of them being her STRING ART pieces. Though most of the images seem to suggest a VOID, she often says that the pieces represent herself.

You can see some of Lisa's spell-binding and deeply affecting work on display on the Pink Wall at Scoops.
