Lisa Muller has been developing her current body of work for seven years. First inspired by the work of Henry Mercer of Doylestown PA, her imagery-rich style combines mythology, history and everyday observation using humor and metaphor. We live our lives according to a collection of stories we choose to believe. It is the power of these narratives that intrigues her.

Growing up, Lisa learned to make things in "self defense". Her parents, driven by creative will and budget constraints, converted each room in their suburban home according to their current medium of interest. When she saw something in a store that she wanted - whether it was go-carts, puppets or dresses - her parents would invariably say "Oh, you could make one SO much nicer than that!". And so she tried.

Lisa's connection with materials remains her primary incentive for working. "The sheer joy of merging an idea with the concrete terms of the physical world, gets me out of bed in the morning," she says. She lives and works in Pottstown, PA.
