A quick visit to http://www.lisajanesmithart.com/
tells you what's important to know about Lisa Jane Smith. It's
simple. It's clean. It's whimsical. It's fun. That pretty much
describes her art, too.

| Lisa Jane Smith |
Lisa
Jane refers to herself as “artist and maker of stuff.” How fun is
that?
On
Friday, October 7 Gallery 54 in Skaneateles will welcome a very
special month-long show of Lisa's “therapy” product. In her own
words, “Illustrating and painting have such a relaxing effect on
me, it's my daily therapy.”
Hailing
from Webster, NY, Lisa was raised in a creative environment by her
seamstress and master carpenter parents to “be creative and
imaginative with insane attention to detail. My Mom was the most
creative person I ever met and was never afraid to try new things,
but more importantly, she wasn't afraid to fails at them.” Both
Lisa Jane's imagination and attention to detail can be readily seen
in her art.
It
would be difficult to be more straight-forward in describing her work
than she is herself, calling it “sophisticated doodling,” she
adds, “I think it make the ordinary seem a bit more interesting.”
Lisa's
art is often available at Rochester area art festivals. She also
licenses her art to manufacturers and had her kitchenware debut this
past summer. If not already, her work will also be available in a
collection of fabric this fall.
The
artwork included in the Gallery 54 show will feature illustrations of
common fruits and vegetables along with the tea towels and books
regularly available in this popular upscale gallery of fine art and
crafts. All, her work is sure to find its way into Central New York
homes.
Lisa
Jane will be on hand at Gallery 54 to meet guests and discuss her
work from 5-8 pm on Friday, October 7. Her work will be featured
throughout the month of October.
Light
refreshments will be served. Gallery 54 is located at 54 E. Genesee
St., Skaneateles, NY.
October gallery hours are Sunday through Thursday, 10-5 and Friday and Saturday, 10-6.
