Lisa is known across the United States for her custom needle felted sculptures. Each of her distinctive pieces is created using a single needle felting method. Using a barbed felting needle, she works the fibers until the sculpture is firm, holds a desired shape and stands on its own, eliminating the need for an internal armature structure. She uses natural and hand dyed local wool in the one of a kind pieces, utilizing alpaca, mohair, merino wool or silk for accents and details.
Inspired by nature and wildlife, Lisa enjoys creating sculptures of wild animals as well as pets. Her past pet commissions have included dogs, cats, birds, horses, lizards and other small animals. Working from photo reference, she can capture a pet’s unique likeness and personality.
In addition to animal sculptures, Lisa also experiments with an array of different fibers and techniques in creating pieces such as wall art, purses, vases, wallets, placemats, bird homes and other useful works of art.
Other interests include boating, fishing, cars and stained and fused glass. Lisa moved from a small island community in Massachusetts to Fremont, NH in 1995.
