Finding delight with Lissa Hunter

Show Notes

Takeaways from this episode:

• Art is a conversation between our head, hands, and heart. Lissa’s approach to art connects technique and thought to create art that is as much about feeling and intention as it is about craftsmanship. Are there parts of your creative practice that feel mechanical? How might you reconnect with the intention behind them?
• There’s power in simplicity. Lissa’s work begins with deceptively simple questions that unfold into rich stories and layered symbolism. Could simplifying your starting point lead you to deeper exploration and expression?
• Our materials tell stories. For Lissa, materials are more than just tools - they carry meaning, evoke memory, and shape narratives. What stories are hidden in the materials you’re drawn to?
