Drawing, painting, and crafts have always been a part of Lisa Wetegrove's life. Family, friends, home, and nature fuel the joy that she infuses into her art. There have been many influences shaping Lisa's creative life. Childhood trips to Mexico helped her develop a great appreciation for the colorful decorative painting and luscious textiles made by artisans from Mexico, and she continued to develop a love of folk art from around the world. Handmade ceramics, quilts, batiks and rugs are some of her favorite design inspirations. She also loves the beautiful and detailed paintings of the indigenous artists of Australia. Modern art, illustration and design have also influenced her artistic journey. "My hope is that these wellsprings result in positive, smile inducing art and designs that make your day a bit brighter.
