Diamonds in the Ocean. Painting

Lisa Bisceglia-Tate As a collector and creator, I would describe my art as Contemporary. I see elementary forms; these come to shape in my mind before I attempt an image. I find working as a landscape designer and gardener stimulating, given expression in my oil paintings and the other mediums I dive into. The dialogue I set up with myself and my work offers the viewer a chance to: * question and rethink the way we do or see things * pass along iconic images * show our surroundings in simplistic design * question and learn from our environment Influences: Logos, objects, music and the human condition Inspired by: Pablo Picasso - For being so prolific Paul Gauguin - For showing the primitive Henri Matisse - For design Vincent van Gogh- For color Tweed Meyer- For line Bio: Western Washington University 1996 BFA Studied in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico 1995 Concentration: Oil, Sculpture, Language Taught art to elementary students at the Benito Juarez Primaria escuela in Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico 1998-99 Owner retail business: Tate San Juan established in 2010 Owner/Landscape designer: San Juan Landscape and Maintenance established in 2001
