Meet Dandyline Studio's Owner & Artist!
Artist Statement
I don’t see myself as having one particular style; however, color and texture play a main role in my work. Although I find it difficult to describe what I specifically want to convey through my art, my pieces are accomplished with the expression of feelings and perspective rather than words.
If I were forced to sum up what I want to express, I would have to say nothing and everything, perhaps my greatest need is to disassociate from reality or perhaps I have no agenda whatsoever. As I evaluate nature, I experience bolts of illumination that can be seen in a frantic pattern of over-exaggerated tree trunks or a brilliant moon suspended in a surreal sky. Daintily painted flowers or other atmospheric, natural and idyllic whimsies of nature are part of my ultimate expression. They speak to me of memories and the endurance of the universe which surrounds each one of us.
Artist Biography
LisaHeather grew up in the sleepy bedroom town of Park City, Montana. She studied art at the University of Montana in Missoula, and graduated from MSU-Billings with a B.S. in Public Relations and a minor in Art and Art History. Her love of art began at the age of four when she discovered a stray sheet of blue paper which had stuck to the top of the snow. When picking up the blue sheet it had magically transformed the snow to blue. Covering the entire snowy backyard with multiple colors of construction paper, she quickly realized that she could transform the entire yard into beautiful art. She has moved her art into Oregon to expand her life and art experience!
LisaHeather’s obsession with white crayons had her parents chasing after her for drawing on anything that allowed the white color to appear. Her father kept encouraging her to draw inside of the lines but it was not within her comprehension; as it turns out, coloring outside of the lines is one of her greatest talents.
LisaHeather’s individualistic, expressive style is distinguished by thick layers, urgent, strong markings or subtle washes as a way to depict the world around her, using her own interpretation of the reality she sees. “My intention through my art is to vibrantly communicate a sense of wonder as I color outside of the lines.”
