About the artist Lisa Moses

While I have always worked with pen and ink, and oil pastels, dance was actually my first love. I studied ballet fr om the age of 5, and then at 19, I joined the first "Disney on Parade" touring show wh ere I met my future husband, Danny.  We toured the Eastern United States and Canada for several months, and when we left the show we settled in Los Angeles, California. For about 10 years after that, I danced with various ballet companies in Southern California. In 1999 I turned my full creative energy to drawing and painting.  I studied art at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), initially focusing on watercolor, and then acrylics. In 2002, I started using the cast acrylic print technique, invented by my father, Joseph Zirker (see josephzirker.com). This method allows for the creation of monotype prints without a press. In 2017 I started creating “Paper Sculpture Collages” that are 3 dimensional and built on canvas. I am thrilled by the photographs of outer space and impossibly distant galaxies, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. These photographs are incredibly beautiful and some of them seem to even have a sort of mystical quality.  I discovered that I could create a beautiful blend of my painting and drawing with photographs of the galaxies.  My experience with dance has a significant influence on my work. I am enamored with the beauty of line and movement in dance, and I often give my work the feeling of movement even when the subject isn’t directly about dance.
