Lisa has been drawing from a very young age. Her Mother, a former University of Washington art student use to give her paint by number sets and other drawing tools to play with. Lisa was the second oldest of seven children. Of her many chores the one she did the most milking and feeding the cows. Many of the animals in her paintings were of ones that she actually had growing up. The farm they had was a true family farm. She has 5 sisters and one brother whom all helped on the farm. Milking cows was the one task Lisa got good at.

She attended the State and County fairs with her animals showing them in 4-H and FFA.

Now she gets to show her animals still at fairs and festivals but they are now on paper.

Althought her talents as an artist were there, Lisa decided to go to WSU for a food science degree. College is where Lisa discovered her characters and painted for fun and for her friends. One of her pieces was sent home and put into a charity auction where it then became part of the Washington State capital decor which later helped her Mother with her connections to get into politics where she now has a seat on the floor of the State Senate. She has had been in politics almost as long as Lisa has been in business.

While in college she showed her work at a number of arts and crafts festivals during the summer and later after working a year in her food science career she finally decided to make a full time career out of it . Lisa continues doing local arts and crafts fairs and creating and coming up with new products and characters to add to her line.

Her three children help her out when they can with new ideas and suggestions.

We hope you enjoy her artwork and welcome any suggestions or new ideas.

Thanks for your support.
