Lisa Moriarty came to art through a different kind of making entirely. Trained as an occupational therapist, she spent years working with cardiac patients, burn survivors, premature infants, and children with complex disabilities, learning firsthand how the body holds tension, how process creates safety, and how rhythm can restore what anxiety has scattered.

Her work has since been placed in the Fairmont, Ritz-Carlton, and private collections across the country. It lives, as she does, between disciplines. Part assemblage, part textile, part installation, always reaching toward that veiled horizon of the Northern California coast she has carried with her since childhood.
