Grixdolls

Michigan artist Lisa L. Grix has been involved in the art scene around the Metro Detroit area for many years. Schooled in art at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center, Lahser High School and Central Michigan University, she has dabbled in many mediums.

Since 2005 Lisa has been creating Grixdolls. They are mixed media dolls loosely based on African talisman dolls. Every Grixdoll is named and carries a energy, intent or purpose. Each piece is made from recycled or repurposed materials. Many pieces are made from vintage metal pressings, pine needles, sticks, vintage fabric and buttons.

She has finally combined her knowledge of art history, color, textile, collecting and assembly skills to arrive at pieces she is very passionate about.
