Studies in Advertising Art at Red River College led Lisa into the fields of television and design. Working behind and in front of the cameras as a writer/producer and host of two television shows, the creative challenges of copywriting took a personal turn and she began to write for her young children. Inspired by the forest around her family island home, nature set the scene for the magic that came to life on the page. Creativity and imagination were always around the corner. As a single mother, Lisa focused on the positive as she navigated the bumps of life and brought up her children with loving and strong ideals. Themes of self-reliance, tolerance and caring for ourselves, and the planet were prevalent in her home and are now the key messages through her books. Lisa publishes her books to share with kids of all sizes who dream big.
