Lisa Tomczeszyn Art Statement

Artists are the chroniclers of human experiences.  The act of creating art is a uniquely human experience, it is an act that is not biologically necessary to sustain life, yet, from mankind’s origins, humans have recorded their personal histories by the creation of art.

I am emotionally connected to color and feel that color has metaphorical weight. My work is always a reaction to the wild and the tame in the natural world, specifically the interactions between atmosphere, light, and the earth, and the histories of humankind’s relationships with the planet and themselves. 

Art helps us make sense of the beautiful and the horrific act of living.

My creative practice is in constant response to current events and the wayward actions of humankind amid the natural rhythms of our planet.
