The Art Of Lisa Freeman

I have always loved creating art. Even as a small child I would spend hours creating art out of anything I could find. In college I ate up every discipline I could take a class in. I learned printmaking, jewelry casting, mold making and different types of sculpture including my favorite, bronze casting. All of these disciplines influenced the way that I paint now. My paintings contain the elements of collage, metal and high relief texture. The end result is a painting that is a light relief with a reflective quality that shifts with the light of day. The aging of old billboards, rusting metal and the textures found in nature inspire the colorful and sculptural quality of my works. I am moved by social justice and the ongoing fight for equality for all. I want to show the world that representation matters and that we are all beautiful. I am greatly inspired by my exploration of African and Afro Latin spirituality and the wild places of our earth. I create digital artwork as well and I am currently working on an Afrocentric oracle deck. I have also contributed to large scale art at the "Burning Man" festival. Lisa lives nestled in the Sierras in Northern California. She enjoys gardening, hiking, camping and sharing a loving space with her dog Marley.
