Lisa Dawn Gold’s work straddles multiple worlds at once.  The work in motion is highly esthetic and conceptual, realistic and abstract, physical and spiritual, classical and modern, raw and accomplished and most of all elegant.  Gold communicates her vision using many artistic languages and mediums.  The work is brought full circle when the mediums become the work and sculptures become paintings.  Our attention is brought to the fundamentals of art making with sophisticated drawing tools as sculptures.

One can imagine the artist using any medium near by to express herself.  Territorial boundaries are crossed with sculptures and paintings etched, carved and sprawled with a graphetti-esk calligraphy.  Thoughts and phrases are forwards and backwards, legible and melt into a blur.  Cast graphite, a sculptural medium she created to embody and express her vision.  Continuing the full creative circle, sculptures are a fair game canvas and can easily also darn a partial abstract painterly coat. 

However painterly or sculptural the work may be, Gold’s work has evolved over time always remaining true to the core theme of a love of the drawing.
