​”I am legally blind and have some learning disabilities, but that hasn’t stopped me. Art lets me paint over all my worries and fears. Everyone has special needs, but people without disabilities aren’t expecting the art that we do. There’s someone in there who wants to speak to the world.

My name is Lisie Y. I have been an Artisan at Inside Out Productions for 20 years. I enjoy different aspects of being in the studio. Depending on the medium painting, sewing, ceramics or other mediums that we do. Ceramics is wonderful because you can create an amazing art piece which can often be used in everyday life. I also enjoy embroidery and sewing. Embroidery has beautiful colors and amazing textile texture touch to the feel. I also enjoy sewing because it has a warm and soft feel to the touch. I enjoy watching soap opera shows like Dallas, Dynasty and General Hospital, and a lot of the Danielle Steel movies. I was just thinking about watching my soaps and it’s my cousin’s birthday and I have to call him and wish him a happy birthday. I really enjoyed creating the bird embroidery project because it had all these amazing, brilliant, beautiful striking colors. The project was also cool because one bird picture created so many different but totally cool and awesome embroideries. My advice to the world: Treat dogs & cats with the utmost dignity and respect. Treat them with kindness and as humanely as possible. They have feeling too. Try to enjoy the art (whichever medium you’re doing) with passion and excitement, whether it’s quietly or with a bang.”
