BIOGRAPHY

Lisa's love of nature and the outdoors began as a child
exploring the woods near her home in Fenton, MI.
Spending most of her childhood immersed in the natural world
instilled in her a sense of awe and respect for her surroundings,
a feeling that has grown deeper as she has grown older.

Lisa lives and works in Pinckney, MI, where she and partners
Marie Rust and Lori Taylor operate Bear Track Studios, LLC,
a collaborative nature art gallery and studio offering
hours by appointment, classes and workshops.

ARTIST STATEMENT

“Working with wood provides an opportunity to incorporate my love for
the natural world into my artwork, to use material born from the earth
to create pieces meant to showcase the beauty of Nature in all its
wondrous forms, as well as to bring attention to the fragility of the world
we share and the need for balance and conservation.

I work only with responsibly harvested Michigan hardwoods,
primarily maple, cherry and black walnut.”
