Approximately: 7" tall About the Artists, Lisa Holt-Hodsdon and Jacob Hods don: Lisa Holt-Hodsdon is a Japanese-American artist who specializes in painting and design. Her mother is from Hachinohe, Japan and father from Boise, Idaho. Inspiration from years of travel and influences from American and Japanese cultures, have helped her grow and evolve as an artist. Jacob Hodsdon has been wood turning and carving for many years and draws inspiration from the natural beauty of wood. "My mother had a Kokeshi Collection that I was never allowed to play with, I used to study the eyes, look at the intricacies of the kimono and painting. They all had such different expressions, I was instantly in love. Now having fun co-creating them with Jacob, we get to play with them all. For me also, bringing my Japanese Heritage into our daily lives means more to me than I can ever express in words. I feel our artistic styles blend so naturally together in creating artworks, That our combined influences and knowledge constantly elevate and compliment our finished work. They really do bring a sense of peace and prosperity to our lives, as they will for you. We both truly love sharing our art, story and collaboration with people" - Lisa Holt-Hodsdon To see more by Lisa & Jacob Hodsdon click HERE Show more
