Lisa Desimini is the author and award-winning illustrator of over thirty books.

She is known for exploring new mediums. She has used oils, acrylics, collage, photography, sculpture and the computer.  With her computer work, she has scanned paper, fabric, fresh fruit, her won hair, wigs, marbles, her own paintings, pipe cleaners, dish towels, coconuts, and many more things!

In a typical visit, Lisa will read, answer questions, talk about her many techniques and do a drawing with the help of the student's imaginations. 

A teacher said, "The students were in awe of Ms. Desimini's magical collages as well as the ‘mystery' materials used to achieve desired effects...each and every class was buzzing with excitement and creativity."

A librarian said, "Many aspiring writers and illustrators left eager to create works of their own!"
