Hand-sculpted textured art

Texture you can feel from across the room.

Sculptural wall pieces shaped by hand in plaster and mixed media, layered with soft folds, quiet color and light that changes through the day.

Each piece begins as a blank surface and slowly finds its shape: draped, pressed and carved until it holds a sense of movement.

The process

Made slowly, by hand

Plaster, joint compound and other mediums are draped, folded and built up in layers to create depth and movement across the surface.

ii.

Texture

Ridges, creases and soft edges are worked in while the surface sets, so every piece is truly one of a kind.

iii.

Color

Finished in elegant colors, chosen to sit quietly in a room and catch the light.

About the artist

Hello, I'm Lisa Richmeier Chaffins.

My work invites you to slow down and notice the quiet details: the curve of a fold, the softness of an edge, the way texture shifts as the light moves across it. I create pieces that speak to you and bring a lasting sense of contentment to the spaces you enjoy.

It all began when I moved to Augusta and made my home on the water, where my studio lives today. The way the water moves, catches the light and carries you somewhere far away became my greatest inspiration, and you'll find its rhythm in every layer I shape.

Each piece is made by hand, with love. If one speaks to you, tell me which piece inspires you and I'll create one in the same spirit, in colors chosen just for your space.
