My Art
Multiple Images by Lisa Goesling Copyright
Every artist tells a story. I rarely provide a synopsis about my creations. I count on the visual senses of the people viewing my art to be activated and inspired. Ultimately it is their words that best describe my art. -Lisa Goesling

WHAT’S IN A LABEL?
What’s in a label? Encendido partnered with Chicago Artists Coalition to find a local artist to develop a label that would bring to life the meaning of “encendido” (passionate, turned on, switched on). CAC worked with five artists to gather design submissions and ultimately, Lisa Goesling’s original grape leaf graphic was selected. Lisa said her “initial intent was to draw the leaf up close, concentrating on all of the fabulous details. However, what evolved was not only a multi-layered leaf, but if you use your imagination, what you can see is the topographical relief of a vineyard and rolling hills.” Lisa utilized an etching technique called scratchboard to create the image, and each scratchboard is an original work of art. Lisa’s label design involves every sense. “Drinking a glass of wine sparks your senses of taste, smell and sight. You can even hear it when it is poured. What I was able to achieve was a sense of touch through the embossed main arteries of the grape leaf. An immediate tactile feeling is created the moment someone reaches for a wine bottle, the first step to a truly memorable wine experience.” We are so pleased to showcase Lisa’s beautiful artwork on our bottle. Its dynamic style conveys the energy and zeal we hope is provoked by Encendido.

One Catkin In Bloom
One Catkin In Bloom by Lisa Goesling Copyright
Capturing a single catkin, (the puffy bloom on a pussy willow) right when all of the little buds were exploding was so much fun! I spend a lot of time studying pussy willows. Their fine lines, depth and details are perfect for Scratchbords. Taking a small surface and making a big impression proves that art doesn’t have to be huge to be powerful.

Swept Away
Swept Away by Lisa Goesling Copyright
I spend a whole lot of time distracted, not exactly watching where I am going. That’s because I am always focused on finding the next great subject matter to create from. This branch with it’s spotted, crumpled, leaves was waiting for me one day outside of my door. It isn’t fall yet, but it didn’t seem to know that.
