Lisa Renz originally hails from Dallas, Texas, and currently lives and makes art in Tampa, Florida. She received her MFA in Studio Art with a concentration in Printmaking from the University of Tennessee. She trained as a printmaker, and her work also includes drawings, paintings, and collage. Lisa’s work draws from a variety of subjects; the natural world, mythology, folk and fairy tales, poetry, the Tarot, traveling experiences, knitting, weaving, and gardening. The world is full of stories; we retell, recreate, believe, refute, unravel, restructure, recycle, compost, and resurrect them endlessly.
“We pull and choose the threads of story and meaning to weave our own experiences with those around us. This, I believe, makes life fascinating and beautiful. I find delight in the ongoing process of running stories and images through my mind like threads on a loom, and rearranging them to create new imagery. Printmaking allows me much room in this practice; I reuse images over and over, turning them around, combining them with visual "ingredients" to make a new combination, a new visual story.”
