Artist, Lisa Wald-Guarino resides in Pawtucket, RI. She has loved to draw since childhood. Lisa enjoys doing art work of animals and nature. Her favorite subject matter for drawings was always Horses. From her first pony ride, she was taken by their gentleness and beauty. One of her first exhibits was with the Randolph Art Associations Spring Exhibit where she entered her "Horses" into the student exhibit. She received a first place ribbon. She pursued a career in art and attended Southeastern Massachusetts University where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She sent her portfolio and samples out to many publishers.Though she seemed to come up dry, she pushed onward, and created Lisa's ART & Horses. She decided to make her art business a reality. She created gift items with animals and horses on them.She has set up her table of t-shirts, cards and magnets at a few local horse shows, and found some local tack shops to sell her t-shirts in. Lisa's Art & Horses gift items are available to purchase at her website. She enjoys going to horse shows for exposure and being around the horses. She at one time took riding lessons and showed. Though she's never owned her own horse, she dreams of some day making that a reality. She has exhibited her work with a few local art associations and the Equine Art Guild. She had her first solo exhibit in February/March of 2010 with BankRI. Her first solo exhibit featured her scratch board art work.
