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

In her acrylic paintings, she explores the relationship between small animals and people. Lisa's work explores the quirky nature of humans and the constant surprises life brings to us. Often, the frame becomes part of the piece; she paints her frames and sometimes adds painted paper cut-outs that relate to the subject. A trademark for her is the original prose, similar to tiny stories, which she adds to the frames.

The sgraffito work is produced on hardwood boards which have a layer of white kaolin clay covered with a coat of india ink. Lisa then uses various sharp tools to incise her design over many hours.
