Lisa Berman's artistic background includes a twenty year career in Interior Design after earning a B.A. and a B.F.A. from the University of Michigan School of Art. Nurturing her passion for ceramics throughout the years, she expanded her artistic repertoire to embrace working in metal sculpture. From 2005 until 2009, Lisa collaborated with Michigan bronze sculptor, Douglas Chick, on a variety of public art installations. She derives inspiration for her art from her growing foundation in yoga and spiritual thought. Lisa finds it intriguing how a figurative manifestation in a medium such as bronze can evoke passionate, emotional responses. These mind energies can potentially affect us in such positive ways, formulating our vision of reality much the same way that a beautiful sunset or grand vista can soothe our souls. This is a divine purpose of art. Lisa strives to connect people through this healing and spiritually uplifting nature of art that touches the universal emotions inherent in all of us.

Douglas Chick is a graduate of Eastern Michigan University with a Bachelors degree in Sculpture  and Printmaking. After graduation Douglas spent twenty years in    the Detroit area Art Advertising business. Several years ago after some life-changing experiences, he chose to return to his passion of creating sculpture.Douglas has created public art sculptures for Libraries, Schools and Churches as well as commissions for private homes. One will find his work to be of an uplifting spiritual nature. Douglas creates his work with a variety of materials; clay, plastaline, plaster and wax- which is then cast, usually in bronze. His sculptures are exquisite, whether one of a kind or limited editions; they are elegantly modeled and finely produced. http://www.dougchicksculpture.com/
