Lisa's favorite artistic medium is paint and she has used art in the past to help her though difficult times. "When I get upset or mad or sad or happy," she comments, "I use art to express how I feel. . . When I'm happy I use bright colors. When I'm sad I use dark colors." Lisa also enjoys creating art with her friends.
Some of the most important things that have happened in Lisa's life so far are when she met her biological family in 2007 (she is happy to still be in touch with them) and when she graduated from college in January of 2008. Lisa wants people to know that, even though she is a quiet person, she is nice and caring.
