About Lisa

This art business is my heart and soul, and this is me at my first big craft show - The 2012 Christmas Festival in Boston, MA when I first launched outside of ETSY with my custom art and holiday greetings.

Bumblejack is my heart and soul because it's a mash-up of all my favorite things: words, drawing, painting, animals, - particularly bees and ravens, my family, wearing my heart on my sleeve, and of course, art and greeting cards.

Currently living and working in New England, and originally from the Midwest, I studied English and fine art at Kent State University. 

As far back as I can remember, I've always loved books, writing, art, nature, and design, and have spent my life intertwining them. I choose medium and method to suit the message, often including painting, drawing, design, illustration, and writing together in my work. I love to help people feel empowered, seen and connected to each other and my cards are all about that. 

I like to use nature and its rhythms as subject matter to inspire unique individual expression, challenge concepts of separation to remind us that we are all connected to each other and things bigger than ourselves that support us, even if our eyes can't see it - be it family, our values, our interests, sense of place, a cause or a mission, or even a new way of thinking. 

I express these themes in abstract mixed media paintings, wildlife watercolors, custom illustrations, in my writing, and in illustrations for books and greeting cards.
