About Lisa Bartlett Art
Experience
Being of a restless, creative nature, I generally have multiple projects going at once. I bounce between media, and I love to experiment. My work often tells a story, since I'm fascinated by human nature and by what history has to teach us. My artwork is directed toward manifesting communication within cultures that includes all generations and all peoples. I would like to be provocative enough, so that viewers will want to dig deeper into history, and learn the stories for themselves. In other words create a bit of mystery, just enough to start new thought processes. I am interested in groups that have suffered and yet persevere. I like to honor those that have been marginalized. I do this by showing the joy and vibrancy of people through color and brush strokes. Sometimes I like to paint on very large canvases and include collage and gold leaf in the composition. I also enjoy working in three dimensions, using such found objects as old clock cases, broken ceramics, and Victorian hardware. Old photographs, old letters, and other memorabilia are major sources of inspiration. I'm always looking for new ideas, new construction techniques, and new projects to get excited about. Anything that involves experimentation, anything complicated, and finally just the act of creation itself--that's what I love.

I own a fine art/fine craft gallery Artlandish Gallery and I have a working studio in Orr Street Studios. I was previously the Artistic Director for installations for the Roots n Blues Festival, Columbia Missouri.
