Chronicles of Connor Part 3

lisahuntart | August 6, 2010

As the summer vacation winds down, so will Connor’s long drawing sessions in the studio. I don’t teach Connor how to draw–he just sits at his desk and lets bustling creative ideas flood onto paper. He is insatiable with paper and pencil. Once in a blue moon he’ll ask me a question such as “Mom, how do you draw a woman (cyborg influence, of course)?” or “Mom, how do you show a spaceship from the underside as it stretches into a blackhole?”…

A Fun Day at the Museum

lisahuntart | August 2, 2010

I have always loved going to museums and am lucky enough to live in an area where there is plenty to see. This past Spring we treated ourselves to an M.C. Escher show at the Boca Museum of Art. A few hours through the labyrinth of amazingness resulted in a season full of creative inspiration…

Splash of water and new ideas

lisahuntart | July 30, 2010

This past week I worked on a few pieces that served to contrast the hot and humid weather conditions of a typical Florida summer. I truly believe that art is a visceral exercise. I know for myself that I live vicariously through my pieces, so drawing up cool waves and frosty trees (in progress) seemed like the perfect way to keep cool…

Music inspires art, art inspires music

lisahuntart | June 21, 2010

When is the last time you heard a song that transported you back to a book you were reading, or a romance you were experiencing or a painting that you were working on? For me, music awakens the senses in ways that deliver immediate imagery…

My 15 year journey with tarot: a retrospective

lisahuntart | May 29, 2010

2010 is nearly halfway over. Can you believe it? I can’t! It recently dawned on me that I did my first tarot painting 15 years ago. So much has happened since. I’ve grown from a young idealist to a middle-aged idealist. My life has changed, my art has changed, but the basic core of who I am has never been compromised

What’s the Buzz?

lisahuntart | April 8, 2010

It is a bustling time here in Hunt-Kramer land, with approximately 30 ghosts and spirit paintings yet to tackle, a book to write, project proposals and other ideas to explore. My days are always filled with a mix of the planned and the unexpected…

Into the deep, dark wood: Forest symbolism and fairy tales

pussinboots | February 26, 2010

Lions, tigers and bears oh my! The mysterious forest is full of unknowns and teeming with mysterious life. As a symbol of the unconscious, it is a place inhabited by wild things, often obscured by the shadows of tree branches and layered with the remnants of seasons gone by. . .

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. My 9 year old’s triumphant move into my studio or The Chronicles of Connor part 1.

lisahuntart | January 30, 2010

I have grown accustomed to working alone in my studio (thus the name “Studio Hermit”), with only the company of NPR, music, and Timmy the cat aka “Studio Buddy” being the potential distractions to an otherwise intense environment. It never dawned on me to ask my 9 year-old artistically inclined son to join me in my sanctuary of creative outpourings…

Never too young (or too old) to learn the tarot

lisahuntart | August 23, 2009

I have been working with and creating tarot decks for over 15 years. In some ways I wish I had been exposed to the art at a much earlier age but at the same time, I am so glad they came to me at a time when I needed them the most…
