Grenade Series

Started in 2016, this series has proven to be very popular. I started it to learn how to capture metal textures. For me, part of the excitement is the visual  puns. Have fun looking at these!

Eight

These are a variety of sculptures from 2015 and before.
They are a combination of free standing and wall hung sculptures.
Some of the plants used are honeysuckle vines, hibiscus, sweet clover, corn stalks, hosta leaves, flower stems, pine bark and dog fennel.
In using a variety of natural materials I am trying to explore all the visual qualities that are present in them.

Myth and Metaphore

 Using the immediacy of fluid paint mediums in tandem with my own photographs to interpret natural shapes and internal structures, I endeavor to imbue images with metaphorical references to myths and folklore. My practice typically involves scrutinizing the landscape for organic matter that is suggestive of human activity. I line my studio with collected specimens and research their natural history before making a series of drawn studies. The finished drawings and watercolors are layered  with archival ink-jet prints.

Invasive

The works in this project laments the effects of invasive species and environmental changes on imperiled species  and human life, and observes the reaction of the earth’s habitat to these threats.

The space between (us)

The space between (us) is an interdisciplinary performance work by visual artist/sculptor Lisa Dillin and Deep Vision Dance Company’s Artistic Director Nicole A. Martinell. The space between (us) unpacks the human experience within the built environment, which commonly evokes feelings of isolation and emotional disconnection from the banal, everyday places we move through and inhabit.

"SmeARt" (Smear-ARt) Art by Cir-Ron

"A good friend of mine brought me some art supplies and "SmeARt" was born. At that time, my legs could no longer dance in a ballet or musical number, so I created a new art form, therapy, and technique" SmeARt." It ignited the art major in me from my middle school years helping me to forget that I was on bed rest at the time. SmeARt brighten my mind. It took off the black and white veil and "colorfied" my thoughts and vision."
