Battlefield Ghosts: Documenting raw, unfiltered creative energy

lisahuntart | August 30, 2010

Here’s the second drawing in what is becoming a series of time-lapse photography experiments. Drawing Battlefield Ghosts was 25% preplanned, 75% spontaneous creative outpouring. As I worked on this drawing…

Documenting the Drawing Process

lisahuntart | August 18, 2010

In the last few months, many friends and fans have suggested that I somehow capture the creative process on film, so to speak. Though I feel confident drawing and painting in front of others, I have never sketched in the presence of a camera-on-tripod before. I used a remote feature that enabled me to snap [...]

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…

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

The Savannnah, GA Pirates’ House

lisahuntart | May 9, 2010

During a recent trip to an historical little bed & breakfast near Savannah, the “most haunted city in America”, my husband and I saw a ghost. And it wasn’t during a ghost tour or walk through a haunted cemetery or during a seance.

“Birdie” and The Story of Thumbelina

lisahuntart | April 29, 2010

The other day, we found a shivering baby bird on our front step. We looked up at the nest built over one of our hurricane shutters and assumed the worst. We gently picked up the fragile creature and examined it for injuries. Miraculously, other than being half-scared-to-death, it looked fine! Putting it back…

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. . .

Bird Shapeshifters: venturing back from wence I came

lisahuntart | December 8, 2009

After 20 years of publishing intensity, I’ve taken a break from contracted assignments to work on my own material, unheeded by deadlines, dimensions, or other technical considerations. This does not mean I’m abandoning my identity as an illustrator/writer–I still have plenty more to do/explore in print publishing. I needed to refresh myself- and flex some creative muscle that was lying languid since the completion of the monumental Fairy Tale Tarot project…
