About Lisi-Tana

My home country, Guyana, is relatively unknown. It’s a small country — right up there on the northern rim of South America.

In the mid-2000s, I immigrated to the US and began teaching English at a state university. For a short period, I also taught in Abu Dhabi before returning to the US.

I am a visual artist, writer, and blogger. I’ve loved art and writing all my life and blogging is a way for me to bring those two elements together. 

My artistic style is fluid and adaptive to my mood — embracing the belief that nothing is permanent. One thing, however, is at its center – a strong graphic quality, described with bold colour.

Much of my traditional artwork reveals a motif of suspended objects – things hanging by a string or thread.  This, to me, symbolizes the fragility of our world, relationships – life itself – reminding the viewer that impermanence is the only permanent thing.
