Artist Bio written by: Lisa Hoeksta of JavaLisa Art
“As a second generation artist and small business owner in artsy Georgetown, I displayed the art of my family and other artists for many years at Red Poppy Coffee.
While caring for my mother in the last year of her life, we spent much of our time together painting. I wanted to learn as much as I could from her and finally had the time to really paint. We dabbled in Chinese ink but I really fell in love with how watercolor has a mind of its own. With the library being closed for most of the Covid era, I finally had to call it quits in the coffee business and made art my full-time passion.
My favorite subjects are exotic birds, the crazier the better, but I love all that nature has to offer. Art has always brought so much joy to my life. I hope in some small way to share that joy with you.”
