New artist alert! Lisa Hill is our newest artist here in the store. She grew up in San Diego and with her dads influence she became an inspired artist. Lisa graduated from the University of San Diego with a degree in Fine Arts. She has expanded to many forms of art but after battling breast cancer and becoming a survivor she mainly focuses on Alcohol Ink and Acrylics. Come check out her selection of jars, boxes, vases, and more! . . @designsbylisahill ... . . #hillcrest #localart #shoplocal #sandiego #artist #community #pride #shophillcrest #painting #jewelry #handmade #local #california #socal #love #beautiful @ Calypso Collective See more
