I am still growing and grateful for everything that has come my way so far, especially the beautiful encounters that came with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With love,<br>Lisa<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-9e47c425\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-f8e318cb\">\n\n<h1 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-41c251d8 gb-headline-text\">Others about Lisa<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-plain is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:16px\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">She has the gift and also the purpose to use her art to convey a message and deeply touch others,  <br>a skill that gives her work a unique and distinctive quality.<\/p>\n<cite>&#8211; Tom<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:16px\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Lisa has a truly free spirit and her art reflects her personality perfectly.<\/p>\n<cite>&#8211; Lucinda<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:16px\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">She embraces the philosophy of Pippi Longstocking &#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;ve never done it before, so I guess I can do it&#8221; &#8211; and constantly pursues new artistic horizons.<\/p>\n<cite>&#8211; Lorenzo<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:16px\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Lisa Hercules is more than just an artist; she is a source of inspiration for anyone who strives to find their own way, follow their own rules and create their own unique work of art in life.
