Lisa (Henderson) Hinshaw ’83

I started painting about one year ago and it’s turned into a hobby/business I call Colorful Creations. My mediums of choice are gouache, gel pens and ink. One of my paintings, entitled “New Life After the Fire” is hanging with the Art Circle’s exhibit in the Community Cancer Center in Normal, IL until the beginning of April 2016. You can visit my website at mycolorfulcreations.weebly.com to see some of my other works. Hinshaw painting
