Lisa's Story
Update (May 17, 2013): Moved back to Kansas in May, 2012, following a family medical emergency. Living in Lawrence now, enjoying continued work as an Interior Design Consultant, love antique and art hunting, enjoying life with my daughter who is ugh, now a beautiful teenager. Gulp, where does the time go?
Is anyone really here? ha I've lived in NYC since 1993, move back to Lawrence in '99/'00, had a beautiful baby girl, moved back to NYC (careers sent us back), managed and partnered in several vintage goods businesses (high end Mid Century Modern furniture, art, objects with some success and notoriety.) Got into the rental business which was a blast: renting props from our cool industrial store in Brooklyn to film production comanpies, fashion photo shoots, print ads, did a lot of location shoots for TV shows, Vogue photo shoots and all that jazz right there in store store, rock a...Expand for more
nd roll. The economy went belly up, and I got out of luxury goods because I prefer eating and electricity to the alternative. Currently, I'm managing a business in Manhattan for a non-for-profit organization, front end charity fundraising.
Got a Masters degree in Fine Arts at Pratt Institute in '99 and still very much hard at work on my art work and writing a book/screenplay. Considering a grant on a body of work I've been pursuing for a couple years now. Would love to get paid to do my art work.
Divorced in 2009, residing in Williamsburg, Brooklyn w/daughter wondering what the hell I'm still doing in NYC! ha I miss Kansas, family, wide open landscapes and nature, intensely. Love NYC, but like most it's a love/hate relationship here.
Mostly, enjoy meeting all kinds of people, being out and about, art, architecture, walking and enjoying life, good books, and lots of music.
