Can art change the way we see animals? Nicole chats with artist Lisa Goldberg about how creativity becomes a powerful form of activism. A contributor to the #FreeHappy billboard campaign and the NYC Animal Rights March, Lisa’s “animal artivism” blends compassion and visual storytelling to give animals a voice and challenge us to rethink our relationship with them. Lisa Goldberg is a mixed-media artist and illustrator, working in both traditional and digital mediums. She is captivated by the intersection between figurative and abstract art, and by the ways that images and words can come together to tell a story. Since awakening to the profound suffering of animals in our human-centric world, the focus of much of her work has been on the animals who are most often used and exploited by humans for food, clothing, research, labor, and entertainment. She tries with every artwork to portray animals as individuals with their own interests and reasons for being. Her hope is that her work may spark the recognition that these sentient beings have the same capacity to thrive and to suffer - and the same innate right to live life on their own terms - that humans and their beloved companion animals do. Lisa is the illustrator of two children’s books: SADIE'S SHABBAT STORIES, written by Melissa Stoller; and TEDDY, written by Willie Devargas. She lives on the Lower East Side of New York City with her husband, daughter, and two spoiled cats. Lisa's Website: https://www.lisagoldbergillustration.com/ Follow Lisa: Instagram Facebook New here?
