About Lisa: Armed with a lifelong affinity for clay and a mission to bridge the gap between art and functionality, San Francisco based maker Lisa Neimeth''s pieces are inspired by aspects of her own life -- travel, nature, food, fashion, and street art.
"I make my work to be used -- not just displayed or admired. The plates can inspire and tell a story, so they are evocative in the traditional ''art'' sense -- but also practical for everyday use. I love the notion of high-end craft and taking time to carefully make everyday items. It is the way things used to be made -- by hand and with great care and craft. It encourages an appreciation of the everyday," says Lisa Neimeth.
