I'm Lisa Bardot, and I love crafts and making things with my hands, but I also love sitting on my couch and creating something without making a huge mess.

I'm also an illustration artist, teacher, and all-around creative person. I've taught millions of people around the world how to find their creativity through drawing on the iPad. I love experimenting with different visual styles and sharing my knowledge with others.
