Lisa Cerezo

Artist Statement: 
My name is Lisa Cerezo, and I consider myself an entertainment enabler. I believe that creative people have every bit as much of a right to forge a career based on their talents as do teachers, doctors, lawyers, and any other professionals you might mention. Culture is an integral part of the development of a healthy society; without it we are nothing. Artistic talent is a gift, and should be valued as such. It takes time and energy to cultivate that talent, and art is not free. When I’m not bringing creatives together, I sing, read, write, experiment with photography, craft, and parent. I’d love to know what you do, and explore what we might create together.
