I was an accountant for 20+ years, when in 2014, tragedy struck, my boyfriend died suddenly in my arms. I turned to art for comfort. It helped overcome the grief and I began to realize art was more than therapy, it was a passion. I taught myself by watching others and reading books. I can see my mood in every painting and I love how it expresses my emotions. I love learning new mediums but always lean towards my favorite, acrylic on canvas. I realize now art is meant to be a part of my life and am blessed to have found it. It’s been life changing and Comforting to know I can express my feelings and thoughts through art. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lisabenken\/\"\u003e@lisabenken\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LagunaART.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39403661590593,"sku":"","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/0219\/3473\/products\/Benken-DoubleDane.jpg?v=1628629315","url":"https:\/\/lagunaart-com.myshopify.com\/products\/copy-of-watchful-eyes-by-lisa-benken-acrylic-on-canvas","provider":"LagunaART.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
