Kolaborate

Lisa received a writeup in Creative Loafing about her latest art.

“I’ve been growing up with my art,” says the University of Georgia grad, whose previous work featured wistful little girls rendered in a hazy style and pastel shades. With their mix of sugar and a hint of sadness, Kemp’s children suggested an artist appraising the bittersweet qualities of little girls through adult eyes. Some of those wan sweetie pies with their birdies and duckies and downcast gazes linger on in Immaculate Ecstasy. Some even manage to successfully blend wit, prettiness and gloom in an enchanting way, such as “Pieta” or the suicide girl in “Going Out.”
