LISA MORANTE, Mixed Media Artist

I’m Lisa Morante, a Jersey girl since childhood.  I am a mixed media artist.  Most of my artwork is created on used guitars.  I like beachy styles, artsy styles and ideas based on natural beauty that I’ve seen in my travels.

I also enjoy creating window designs of ocean tides in beach themes. My style is created with sea glass, stone, jewelry, seashells,stained glass,gems and mortar.  After applying them onto mortar or glue I can then express beauty on different types of canvases.

Inspired by many artists, Isaiah Zager probably inspired me the most.  By his example I’ve learned to repurpose things and give them a beautiful new life!
