Art(s) on the Air with Lisa D. Watson

from Art on the Air · host Kate Stanton Melendez

Join Kate for an interview with Lisa D. Watson, an artist, gardener, and activist.    Lisa D. Watson (b.1967) grew up in Northeast Ohio where she spent many days in the wooded forest behind her childhood home. The day the bulldozers flattened the forest to a suburb was the day she found her lifelong mission; tell the stories of the voiceless species of the natural world.  Watson received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Columbus College of Art & Design in Columbus, Ohio. Since her academic studies, she has used salvaged objects as her medium.  Through her art and garden designs, Watson strives to find balance between urbanization and conservation. Her company, Plan it Green Design, LLC, provides homeowners with creative and sustainable design solutions, emphasizing the use of native plant species. Currently she is collaborating with The Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance, The Longleaf Alliance, and the Georgia Native Plant Society. After receiving a Certificate of Interior Design in Chatsworth, California, Lisa moved to Savannah, Georgia and works out of her studio and native garden. I was lucky enough to be able to visit and chat.   Check out Lisa here: https://www.art-ldw.com/ https://www.instagram.com/art.ldw/ https://www.facebook.com/planitgreendesign/     Theme song by Jose Ray, an artist, DJ, & friend of the show!
