tall dreams
paintings
by Lisa Sanders
I have been creating art all my adult life, particularly in the area of textiles--garment construction and fiber arts--but it is in my abstract paintings and collages that I have discovered my most satisfying and expressive outlet.
I create my paintings in a very intuitive way. With some pieces I apply more intention to my creative process, carefully placing down fragile papers, overlaying them with translucent images. With others, I just get out of the way and let the layers of fabric, paper and paint organically come together and tell their own story. My practice of art is a daring exercise in trust--trusting my hands, the paint, the layers--that there will come forth on the wood or canvas something meaningful, true, honest. Further, incorporating vintage family papers and ephemera silently infuses my work with a legacy that makes me proud. One adjective encapsulates my vision of art: evocative. Whether a piece is quiet and contemplative, angry and unsettling, or uncertain in its message, art is at its best when it moves us.


Creating each of my paintings is a sort of self discovery journey--a journey that culminates in a gallery or art fair where I can witness with intense satisfaction others who connect and find their own meaning when viewing my work.
