Though she has been an artist for many years, Lisa came to glass late.
She and Jimi were sculptors originally until they decided to move to Wanganui five years ago to do their arts degrees.
The creative couple are now an integral part of the diversity in the annual Whanganui Artists Open Studios.
Lisa's move to the world of glass has been an extraordinarily successful one. She has already won two major art awards. Her piece Across the Lines won the Australasian Ranamok award. Constructed with hundreds of coloured glass pegs, the work was a retelling of a story about life during WWI.
Moving to Waverley was inspired, she said.
The closing date for the Youth to Work nominations is Sunday 4 September and a celebration event will be held at the TSB Hub on Wednesday 2 November.
