Lisa Call - fine art, finer artist

Our new home will be filled with art that inspires and objects that bring joy. I first met artist Lisa Call in Philadelphia in 2012, and purchased an exquisite textile painting. Inspired then, inspired now and privileged to have acquired three new works ahead of our move. I still smile at the serendipity of entering a gallery in the old part of Philly, without knowing how that interaction would become an enduring friendship. Lisa was in the house (gallery) on that day, and the rest is history. As the founder of the Make Big Art community, Lisa's coaching and encouragement continues to support my own growth and help take my arts practice to another level.

The mess before the beauty

The excavator's words have stuck in my head, rent free. ' I have to make one hell of a mess before it can become beautiful. There is no beautiful end without the mess '. Or words to that effect. The retaining walls at the back of the house have to be finished before anything else can happen in the yard - and in between downpours, a few expletives and more rain, it has beena testing time for all involved in the construction. I thought about his words - and the effort of making a quilt from scratch. The planning, drawing, testing, dyeing, playing, creating, starting again, creating and the final 'ah ha'. There is so much 'mess' before a quilt is resolved becomes a thing of meaning and beautiful in its own way. Blessed are the excavators.
