Biography
Lisa Lorenz was born in a suburb west of Johannesburg in South Africa 1964. Both grandmothers were performers: one was an opera singer and music teacher, the other a successful actress in mainly amateur productions. Her mother is a poet and translator and a lover of art. Lisa became a singer and has been working at the opera in Zurich, Switzerland since 1994. As a singer she has also performed in solo recitals, composed music and gives voice coaching.
Finding the joys of handmade ceramics
Shortly after launching her CD Mondverse (English: Mouthing Verse) setting Afrikaans poetry to music in May 2014, Lisa longed for a new creative vessel to keep her hungry muse happy. She decided to start working with clay as she loved using handmade dinnerware. While learning to throw with clay on the wheel, Lisa yearned for a finer medium, one that could even become transparent; transparency being a spiritual, ethereal quality that she also seeks while singing and composing.
Lisa’s challenge is to further expand her artistic expression together with porcelain, assimilating their joint gifts, transforming and manifesting shapes and bringing them to her ultimate artistic purpose of sharing joy and wonder!
