Lisa says of her show in the Helena Davis Gallery: "One of my greatest joys is sketching at various outdoor festivals.  The Richmond Folk Festival in Richmond Virginia has allowed me the freedom to continue to draw and capture the sights and sounds of this wonderful, exciting event.  When sketching and painting outside it is important to connect and feel ones environment. During these moments I feel free to draw the scenes that I view in my own unique way.  I have found that an audience will visually and mentally relate to an illustration or painting if they are able to connect my artistic images to their own personal experiences.  My visual creations become a part of theirs and  allow the viewer to make positive visual connections about this important musical folk event. My display describes a story that I want to share with all that view my work.  The best artists define their creations through their own passions which brings excitement to their work."
