Happy New 2026!

HELLO and Happy New Year!  Here is to a new year of  PEACE for everyone.  


I feel like this dog right now.  On a path to who knows where.  Last year was a year of very little art making compared to years past, but as I type this I am reassured that the time was not wasted.  I am seated at my dining room table and looking at the garden which is full of winter beauty.  The garden is where I spent a bulk of my time.  However, currently I am painting nearly every morning for at least two hours, and feeling a need to create at a level I have not experienced for some time.  I am happy about this because I was feeling so uninspired as far as making art goes.  I continued enjoying the art of others, but I felt that I personally had nothing new to say with my art.

 I made a switch to painting on paper and I think that somehow this unlocked my creativity from its dry spell.  What began as a way to practice techniques and color, eventually evolved into a growing collection of some fun little works.  I am putting these "small offerings" in my Etsy shop now for a very affordable price, and my actual painting paintings can now be found on my website https://www.lisagrahamart.com/

    I am going to try to post on here more this year, but I am more regularly on

Instagram and Facebook

If we are not already connected there, please come find me and say hello!
