Hi, I'm Lisa Cush

*ABOUT ME

Who I am & what I do

Lisa Cush

Artist and Marketing Specialist

I am an artist, writer, and dreamer who paints because I can’t play the ukulele or juggle. I live in Colorado, but have lived in and traveled to many different places around the world. My experiences give me insights into different cultures and the motivations of a wide variety of people. My artwork can be found in multiple private art collections around the world.

I can help your company attract new customers with brilliant graphic design, social media marketing, and websites that motivate sales. My mission is to provide the best art, design and marketing to my clients.

*PORTFOLIO

A showcase of my works

I have designed everything from panyas to help eradicate the Guinea Worm in Africa to fine jewelry. I’ve worked as a medical illustrator, portrait painter, designer and marketing specialist. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Louisiana State University. Van Gogh, Renoir and Schultz influence my art.

*TESTIMONIALS

Don't take my word for it

Cynthia Santana

Personalized Banking – Earth Heart Industries

Working with Lisa was so refreshing. Her out of the box thinking makes her ideas blossom. I gave her just a few ideas for my website and logo and the rest was all her doing. She really listened and it shows in the logo and website she created for me.

Megan Render

Greeting Card Artist and Owner – Self-Rendered Greeting Cards

Lisa designed my business logo and related items (business card, shop banner, product labels, product photos, etc.). The end result was beyond my expectations. She is professional, technical, and very creative. Lisa really listened to what I wanted, capturing my vision. She is now my “go to” person for my art and design needs.

Latoya Severa

Art Collector

My portrait painting by Lisa Cush is not only impressive, as she did it by memory, but also very complimentary. Lisa shows an appreciation for the human form in her art.

Kara Stutzman

Writer and Founder – Dancing Goose Therapeutics

Lisa did a wonderful job with my business cards and also my book cover design! She even helped me figure out what look I wanted with her creative and professional process.

Amy Pieri

Chef and Owner – Cottage Kolaches

Lisa brought my small business logo to life! Her designs illustrate her ability to curate clients’ logo ideas regarding impact, color, and usage to create uniquely relevant and vibrant images. Lisa brings warmth and meaning to her production process, often incorporating specific elements of buildings, environments, and clients’ personal histories or mementos into each sketch. She offers a variety of drafts, allowing clients a final choice before honing details and presenting a polished end product. Lisa is professional and approachable, and is open to exploring any artistic direction. I won’t hesitate to collaborate with her again!

*PROCESS

That’s how I work

Many times clients know they have a problem but aren’t sure what to do. I know how to ask the right questions to help clients succeed in their vision. To improve final results, I always do a little bit of research before designing any project for my clients.

Defining the problem

It may feel like a silly question, but why do you want this project? Knowing the reasons for wanting a project clears up the goal. Looking for a completely new image, an updated fresh look or simply a piece of art that makes a statement?

Conduct the research

Conducting research is the second, and one of the most important steps, in any project design. It’s also a task that will come up again and again, because research and design are cyclical.

Basic sketches

Sketching has its role in the design process. That role will vary depending on the product being created: size, scope and expectations.

Design & development

The process of constructing a project collects different perspectives within a plan that sparks effective outcomes. Once a plan is made, expectations for the project can be managed and aligned.

Final discussion

This is a simple but effective way to bring focus to insights uncovered and the ultimate problem to be solved. Together we can create a concise statement of the ultimate vision of your product or project.

Product launch

There’s nothing quite like the feeling after a successful product launch or project completion. It is exhilarating to see all of your hard work come together to benefit others. Let’s set a date and time for your launch.
