Lisa Call is a talented textile artist,
teacher, life coach and businesswoman.
Born in Arizona in the United States and spending much of her recent
life in Denver, Colorado, Lisa then packed up her belongings and moved to New
Zealand in 2015 for a new adventure.
Lisa, a former software engineer, is a
self-taught artist whose work has been exhibited and published widely and
resides in public and private collections around the world. Lisa’s award-winning textile
paintings are abstract, using her rich hand dyed fabrics and intense machine
stitching to create bold geometric works.
She cites her love of colour, repetition and pattern; geological forms
and human-made structures such as fences and stone walls as her inspiration sources for her work.
Lisa will be teaching one of the five-day
master classes at the NZ National Quilting Symposium in October 2017, the topic
being ‘Working in a Series’.

We discuss what coaching is, why Lisa became a coach and how she uses coaching skills to teach students to be artists rather than teaching them how to make art.
Lisa is next exhibiting her work at the 100 Days show at Tutere Gallery in Waikanae opening September 1st 2017. This will be Lisa's 100 black and white textile paintings incorporating her explorations in mark making that she has been making for her 2017 100 Days Project.
