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.  

My gallery of ATC's, Journals, and
altered artwork can be seen here:
