Lisa Arkus
Through my art, I tell stories from childhood memories. Inspired by the enchanting tales my story-teller grandfather would tell me, I discovered the boundless realms of imagination. This foundation, fused with my passion for painting, forms the essence of my artistic expression. Each piece I create is a story in its own right, a testament to innocence, the magic of childhood, and the world of make-believe. Self-taught, I have honed my craft, forging a distinctive style and refining techniques uniquely my own.
My artistic journey is deeply intertwined with my love for nature—the woods, gardens, and the creatures that inhabit them. Cats and rabbits donning paper dresses, rendered against the backdrop of the majestic Allegany Mountains that cradle my home. Here, beneath the darkest skies on the east coast, lies a canvas full of life, where traveling birds mingle with flying saucers, and the stars themselves become storytellers. Through my art, I invite you on a journey of wonder and whimsy
