About

Several years ago I began incorporating pictures into my paintings. I was looking for a fun and unique way to display photos of my kids that reflected their personality and experiences. The name, in fact, is inspired by my daughter’s love of a bird she named Kiki, and for her imaginary friend Polly. Polly no longer visits our house as she once did, but I try to keep the spirit of childhood, wonder and imagination with me in my Portland, Oregon studio.

    Lisa,

    Writing to you from Rochester, NY.

    I happened upon your blog via Bloesem Kids (The home tour).

    Our home is in a blue mood at the moment – experimenting with different shades for the kitchen.

    Your living room walls are lovely. It seems the perfect balance of blue that I have been searching for.

    Could I trouble you for name of the color?

    Thanks, in advance, for any feedback!

    Lynn

    Hey Lisa. I just found your work on etsy tonight. I live in Connecticut and right now the trees are doing their outrageous color thing. I like your work and it reminded me of Narangkar’s work. My daughter-in-law is in the Master’s Painting program at UC Berkeley and is working with childhood images when she grew up in India. You will find her work by just googling her name. I am a painter, as well, and I hope you will visit my site. I wish I could get out of my “art education” mode and have more fun with my work, as it appears you do. I especially love your painting of the water ballet! I will be following your blog, too.
