ABOUT LISA

Lisa is a wildlife biologist, specializing in conservation of species at risk. Originally from Ontario, Lisa moved to Alberta to pursue graduate studies and be close to the mountains. After many years of creating pottery, Lisa coupled her love of clay with her training in biology to explore sculpture with a fresh and authentic perspective.

Using both raku and electric firing techniques, Lisa strives to capture the essence of her subject and its individual personality. Rooted in her knowledge of wildlife, she creates realistic, and sometimes stylized, sculptures of indigenous wildlife and their habitats.  Through effective use of materials and techniques, Lisa hopes to engender an appreciation for wildlife, as well as the art of sculpture and all its possibilities.
