Lisa Call is a self-taught artist who creates bold, geometric contemporary textile paintings composed of richly colored hand-dyed fabric. Her work is abstract but draws elements from many places -- her love of the geological forms of the Southwest, repetition, pattern, and an attraction to human-made structures for containment, such as fences and stone walls.

"I don't really teach people how to make art. I teach them how to be an artist."
"You can sit around and say you are making art, but until you get up and do it, you're not."
"Try to connect with what is truly, authentically you, versus what you should be doing or what other people are doing."
