Lisa D. Archigian - Visual Artist

When I wasn't making found object assemblages, during senior year of high school, I was sitting on my grandmother's living room floor, drawing from observation an elaborate drapery study for an art school application. Channeling Nicolaides and imagining an ant crawling up and down the layers of fabric to understand volume, and cutting my eraser on the diagonal to pull out highlights like Betty Edwards said in Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. I still do all of those things and use that exact same drawing board. Eternal Shout-outs to ❤️
