Inspired by nature, Lisa Marseglia-Moran’s work expresses the connection of all living things. Although the process begins with an organic object or scene, it is more about the energy of the earth than a realistic representation of what she sees.

Painting is not something she tries to completely control. As a painter, she feels part of something bigger. The perfect medium for sharing her love of nature, she describes the feeling of creating through oil painting as having a conversation with a close friend about something they both love.

When creating mixed media pieces, the process is similar to the experience of painting. Paper and paper pulp are layered together like brush strokes. Various media, including watercolor, pencil, ink, crayon, enamel, thread, sand and metal are layered along with handmade paper. At the end of each day, paper scraps are collected and used to create new pieces of paper. In this way, each piece is related to the all the others. This process is a metaphor for the connection that exists between us all.
