As an artist Lis possesses an impeccable attention to precise detail and an ability to create palpable, atmospheric moods and luminosity with graphite, colored pencil and gouache. The forms in her compositions flow smoothly and culminate in a harmonious and poetic reverie.

Lis invites us to bask in her radiant and resplendent glow of restoration and transcendence, hope, and optimism. When we calmly reflect on her images that capture feelings of intimacy and quietude, we reconnect with the depths of our human emotions and the spiritual wonders of our natural world.

In a society where speed, chaos, and disturbing distractions seem to flourish, Lis is an important and treasured artist and communicator. Her healing art reminds us to stop and take time to be still and embrace the gift of the present moment in time. She calls our attention to the magical details we often overlook.
