I am Lisa Bivona and I create at, Pearl Avenue Studios. The studio is a humble little room that once housed a bed, imagine that...now it's the most beautiful mess, one has ever seen.
I'm a wife, a MOM, a Honey (that's what my grandsons call me. How lucky am I? Very!).
I am a self taught artist who just creates. I use several mediums in my art, oils, watercolor, pen and ink, and even crayolas. I started painting about 18 years ago, and recently I started sculpting, just to relax. I love it! I have little characters dancing in my head, screaming, create me! I used to co-own a brick and morter shop, selling vintage junk and restyled pieces of the past. But when Halloween rolled around, I didn't have much to offer, so I bought some paper mache, and whipped up a few pumpkin candy containers to resemble the vintage style of the 20s and 30s. I had no idea what I was doing, but darn it, I was having a good time.
Closing the shop has lead to Pearl Avenue Studios, because I couldn't stop creating. In one form or another I will always create.
I aspire to...well we all have grandiose ideas! One day I will achieve it.
oh lisa, I cant imagine.... my bil had just missed the storm by twenty minutes on his drive home from arkansas. I hope u are well and hope u and ur family remain safe... Hugs Tabitha
Lisa, I can't believe the damage done in your hometown. It's so sad to see that everything is gone. I wish you, your family and your community the best.
I was very sad to see Joplin in such a state of loss. Being just a hop skip and jump over the state line to the south all of Northwest Arkansas is feeling the pain of such devistation and our hearts and prayers have been with everyone that lives there. Many of us have relatives there, or work there, and most of our communities have gotten supply drives together and have driven up to help with the clean up. Big big hugs!
My God, Lisa, this is so sad. I was shocked at the devastation! I really didn't know it was this bad. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Joplin. I hope that the rebuilding of Joplin happens quickly.
Oh, Lisa! I had no idea that Joplin was your hometown. My heart just aches for the people that have lost so much. I hope everyone in your family is okay. xoxo Pam
