Creativity has no limits! 🎨💫

After being quadriplegic and recovering much of the muscle strength in her arms, Lisa has continued to challenge herself creatively. She has been beading for nearly 10 years, always pushing herself to try new designs. ✨

Last December, Lisa decided to try something new: watercolor painting. She surprised herself with what she was able to create—and we’re excited to share some of her beautiful work! 🖼️

Support her work by visiting Unique Boutique, located on the second floor of the Palisades Mall, and get your very own piece today! 💙



Description: Several of Lisa’s paintings are displayed — the first shows a whale decorated in pink flowers and green leaves swimming through the ocean. The next is a painting of a cactus with red flowers on it sitting in a blue and red-polka-dot vase. After that are seagulls flying in the sky next to a red and white striped lighthouse on the shore, followed by a painting of red and pink flowers sitting on a green-leafed circlet.
