Upstate New York based Artist, Risa Bardo, has been creating various forms of art since early childhood. Risa was inspired at an early age by her Grandmother who was a pressed flower artist and instructor. When she was gifted with two beautiful children, she took some time off to focus on her family. During her free time she designed and created custom jewelry and shifted her focus toward graphic design and illustration. She combines both classic and modern styles to create art inspired by the beauty and elegance found in nature and everyday life.
