I’m an artist.
Anything else is painful.
If you can help,
I’ll keep trying, to do, to think, to be.

Bio

Hey, I’m Lisa. I like dogs, especially my special needs rescue Kisses (RIP) and her lil’ sibs Muddy and Bleppie. I do a lot of things, but mostly I edit technical writing and books, make blood for film and direct horror movies. In 2019 I acquired distribution for my first film, horror feature Marla Mae. I’m currently in development on my second feature Mother is Sick.
