The work in this exhibit was born of infinite possibilities, with the intention of sharing a little joy and positive energy through creative expression.

In terms of visual content, these paintings reflect my childhood aesthetic influences, including my mother’s Pennsylvania Dutch heritage of using patterned textiles as decoration, and my Italian-American father’s love of bold color and abstract design. The pattern-work in these pieces, through repetition and continuity, signals something of the infinite. Regarding material, these paintings reflect my efforts to bring out the inherent beauty of oil paint through non-representational means.

I would describe these new works as an harmonious integration of color, pattern, and texture, akin to the realm of textiles, and conveying the warm- spirited energy and intention I put into their creation.

Lisa Fabiano is a painter, born and raised in southeastern Pennsylvania, based in Colorado since 1982. After attending UCCS as a Philosophy major, she decided to satisfy her long-held desire to study art and learn to paint. Fabiano is a self-directed and primarily self-taught artist, studying and creating art for over 25 years.

Although she has training and experience with conventional European-style drawing and painting, Lisa’s main focus and passion is non-objective and abstract art. She describes her work as color-centric abstraction with philosophical and metaphysical undertones, and says she is most interested in creative freedom and positive expression.

Lisa’s work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including at G44 Gallery, Kreuser Gallery, and at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center.
