Lisa Ramudo
Lisa Ramudo is a sculptor and basket maker.
“My work is rooted in history and tradition. I trained in fine arts as a teen and adult, but learned weaving, sewing, knitting and other traditional crafts as a child. The two are combined in my current work which brings together painting and sculpture with basketry and jewelry making.
I paint watercolor paper with acrylic paint, then cut the paper into strips which I weave into baskets and other sculptural forms. These objects are then finished with thread, wire, and natural elements.”
Lisa was born in Michigan of Cuban immigrant parents, but spent most of her early life in Mexico and Costa Rica. She received her Bachelor’s of Fine Art at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She’s also studied at the University of Michigan, the Art Students League, and the Penland School of Craft.
She currently lives in Tampa, Florida.
