Featuring Lisa Stillman for the May 20th Gallery Walk, 6-9pm
"I revel in the freedom that mixed media and assemblage art allow. My brain, the scientific/artistic and realist/idealist compartments actually seem to communicate when I'm not paying attention. So when the ideas and elements wash in, I scoop them up and create. It's not like I have a choice, and I'm okay with that."
