Lisa Skyheart Marshall is inspired by eavesdropping and dreaming. Her colorful, small scale paintings draw you in to find details you may have missed. Marshall's use of subtle symbolism adds an element of depth and often, mystery.

Marshall works in acrylic and colored pencil. Often the frame becomes part of the piece; she paints her frames and sometimes adds painted paper cut-outs that relate to the subject. Marshall's work explores the quirky nature of humans, the constant surprises life brings to us and our connection to the animal world.

A trademark for her is the original prose which she adds to the frames. She comments, " they are very very short stories, I suppose that's how I satisfy my need to write."
