Decoding Lisa

The work of Lisa Whittington is an arsenal of narratives and symbolism.  Everything brush stroke is intentional. She can use colors and leading lines to move the eyes of the viewer around her work. Her work is best viewed in person as there are usually meaningful treasures planted around her art, especially with her Black history pieces.  Understanding the role of art in society and history, Lisa Whittington usually creates a mindmap of her intentions that leave a blue print for the viewer to understand the layers in her thoughts and her work for generations to come. Her raw notes are valuable to understand the depths of her thinking and creative work.
