I’m Lisa Rodarte, a textile artist whose creative path has evolved from years in fashion and denim design to a deep exploration of indigo dyeing and silk painting.
I’m self-taught, inspired by color combinations found in nature. I’m fascinated by how color and the natural world can evoke emotion and healing. What began as a love for making wearable pieces—kimonos, slip dresses, and accessories—has grown into a new focus: abstract silk paintings.
Working from my Laguna Beach studio, I create abstract artwork that is layered, expressive, and rooted in both movement and stillness. Every piece is an exploration of color, texture, and feeling—meant to bring beauty and calm into modern spaces.
