About Lisa’s Art

Lisa Guerrero’s Kitchen Bitches are a series of pop art mosaic backsplashes with a humorous take on gender and culture based stereotypes of women in the kitchen. They’re built on waterproof material and can be installed as backsplashes or framed and hung as art. Lisa uses recycled and found materials whenever possible; she also incorporates ceramic, shells, glass, mirror, jewelry, beads and objects that have sentimental value to her.

Lisa’s first completed piece, an address plate, came as a result of a two day weekend seminar…she only completed one of the days (the second day she covered The Grammy’s for Inside Edition). From that brief encounter, Lisa discovered a passion for mosaics. Her first full sized project was “Malibu Mermaid.” (24″ X 36″) Without having so much as picked up a paint brush in her life, Lisa created an astonishing and elaborate rendering of a siren, soon to be rescued. It was accepted into an exhibition in Napa Valley, California’s Sebastopol Center for the Arts in 2009. Soon after, it was selected for publication in The Best of Worldwide Mixed Media Artists in 2010 by Kennedy Publishing. This, her first piece, took approximately four weeks to complete, though the time frame for each piece typically varies between three to five weeks, from inception to completion.

After “Malibu Mermaid”, Lisa began to incorporate mosaic into her own home; as a fireplace surround, decorative vases, candle holders, a pizza oven surround, and of course, a kitchen backsplash. That experience inspired Lisa to create the series depicting women in the kitchen. An art critic called her Kitchen Bitches “sassy and slightly subversive”. They have certainly been getting a lot of attention in the celebrity world. Her collectors include baseball star, Johnny Damon and KISS lead guitarist, Tommy Thayer. She has also been commissioned to create mosaics for Davis Love III’s new golf course, Diamante Cabo San Lucas.

Lisa’s work has recently been exhibited at the Jeannie Madsen Gallery in Santa Monica, CA and at the Rebecca Molayem Gallery in West Hollywood, CA. Her Kitchen Bitches will be featured in Best of the Best Artists by Kennedy Publishing and will be available at Blick Art Materials in 2011.
