| About The Artist |
Lisa Buchanan - the Artist I am a self-taught full time artist that works in oils, acrylics, pastels, and mixed media. I became interested in painting when a friend asked me to come "play" with her on her tree farm and she convinced me to try painting as a form of relaxation. I have been "relaxed" ever since! My studio paintings consist of portraits, landscapes, religious themes and closeups of nature. Recently, I have ventured into the world of altered art where old books that would have been thrown away are given a new life and everyday objects are turned into art. I also make shrines, pendants and pins. Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) have become another passion of mine. I am one of the co-owners, admins, and board members of ATCsForALL.com and a board member of IllustratedATCs.com, AFA's juried sister site. These two forums are dedicated to mail art. The 2.5 X 3.5 inch art cards are traded with people from all over the world.
