About 'Itty'

My name is Lisa Haskell but I go by “itty” or “itty CREATIONS." I got the nickname itty (short for itty bitty), from my mother when I was very young and it was with her that I found and fell in love with art.

 

Since coloring books, play dough, and paint by numbers, I’ve embraced just about every medium art has to offer. Finding passion in many traditional mediums like: drawing, sculpture, and painting. These passions lead me to The Art Institute of Las Vegas- where I was able to hone my traditional passions, as well as, open my horizon to the ever-evolving digital art world. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Media Arts & Animation, gaining an array of knowledge, perspective and many more strong interests along the way, such as animation, graphic design, and photography, to name a few.

Right after graduating college, I got a job as Lead Artist for a company whose focus was immersive projection mapping onto casinos walls. Where myself, and a team of four artists designed themed virtual reality experiences, that were then integrated into live slot game play. You can still immerse yourself into one of our creations at Seven Feathers Casino in Canyonville, OR. Look for the room “Titans of Cash!” After some internal financial issues within that company, many employees were laid off and/or stopped receiving payroll, to which my now husband and I (both working for the same company at the time) seized that moment of limbo, to make the move we both passively talked about, but low-key longed for (I guess you could say we manifested it), to move from Las Vegas, Nevada to Washington State on a whim. 

 

Fast forward to 8 years later, I still live in Washington State. I fell in love with nature and horticulture just as much as I did art. I found happiness and success in the agriculture world, though I'll always consider myself an Artist, first. Creating and selling my art to friends, family, and complete strangers has always been something that has brought me the most joy, I have since added flowers, fruits, and veggies to the mix. 

 

I learned pretty early in life that; investing in myself, the lifestyle I want to live, and the art I want to create, was worth more to me than becoming another number, building up someone else’s brand, that I have already learned once could collapse at any moment. It was around this time, ‘Till Death Do I Paint’ was born. A brand I created as a vow to myself, (and for others) to do the things you love to do, no matter what, for the rest of your life. To paint, to create, to design, to mold, to sow, to grow, THE LIFE you want to reap. "Till Death Do I Paint - my own reality."

 

Long story short, this is where I am, this is who I am; an artist, a painter, a creator, a gardener, a dreamer, manifesting my many dreams into reality.

To end this ‘About Me’ with just two more things that I love, a good cheers and a good quote...

 

CHEERS to the journey of following passions, embracing new things, and utilizing everything you learn to 'PAINT’  your own happiness, whatever it may look like. 

 

“I am an artist at living- my work of art is my life.“ - D.T Suzuki
