Lisa Ryder is an award winning artist in many types of media, but prefers sculpture with attitude. Having attended Alberta College of Art and Design, as well as being a first year apprentice carpenter, Lisa found both environments too serious and decided making snarky but cute sculptures and asking people to join in was a much better way to live life and have some fun along the way. 

  As one of the main instructors for a popular bead outlet in Alberta, and the a short stint in Saskatchewan, Lisa now resides in Cranbrook BC and refuses to turn back. She lives a quiet life with her spouse, two dogs, two cats, and way more garden than a person without goats should have to deal with.
