Open edition illustrative prints by Lisa Barbero.  the colourful prints are created using carefully manipulated type faces and handmade textures that were made by purposefully staining fine papers with coffee and tea.  Professionally printed on gorgeous museum-quality 100% cotton rag enhanced velvet fine art paper. Lisa sees beautiful, imperfect perfection all around her. In nature, color combinations, lines, children's doodles, the sweet cream floating in her morning coffee, the mark on her cat's forehead, and in the people she sees every day. Inspiration is literally always under her nose and she describes herself as having ‘a gazillion ideas on a weekly basis but finding the time to make them into reality is another story altogether.’ <br /> <br /> Lisa says ‘inspiration is all about how you look at the world. If we can be open both mentally and emotionally, the world begins to look much more inspiring . If our vision is one of possibilities as opposed to fixed concepts, inspiration is never in short supply. In my mind, that vision of possibilities is more commonly called hope. And the message it brings is "You Can Do Anything!".’
