Lisa was born in a big city in Ontario when the air quality was still good and litter was not seen on the ground. The childhood that followed her birth was average for a Canadian girl growing up in the early seventies. Bell bottom pants, a Six Million Dollar Man shirt, a Dorothy Hamill hairstyle, and a banana-seat bicycle were some of the things that she had, along with a box of crayons with a built-in pencil sharpener. She carried her crayons everywhere and drew all the time on almost everything. Years later after puberty took its hold it changed her outlook on life permanently, she found herself leaving that small town for the bright lights of the Big Smoke. There, she enrolled in a fine arts programme at a large university. For a while, she stayed on as a student, before becoming disillusioned with the lack of inspiration that came from her surroundings. So she left to find a mentor…someone who would inspire her, teach her, and guide her creativity to find its own voice. Those mentors were found in the many books she acquired over the years. Encountering inspiration through her travels has been a major source of creativity for her. The journey she is on is one that will never end.
