Lisa Lees

I'm in my late fifties and am retired from full-time work. I maintain or help maintain several websites. I continue to volunteer with All-of-us Express Children's Theatre. I'm pretty serious about drawing and writing for my comic/story project.

I have interests in more things than I have time for: reading and watching comics; playing board and console games; playing guitar; keeping up my French; learning Japanese; listening to world music; learning to play my ocarina; spending time with my two grown children.

Theater: My children and I became involved with All-of-us Express Children's Theatre in 1995. I supervised stage makeup for forty or so mainstage shows, was President during 1998-2002 and 2008-2009, created and maintain the web pages, built a number of pieces of sound equipment and with my son, continue to do most of the still photography.
Creative Work: I've been writing since grade school and have published many articles, letters, book reviews, chapters and essays, along with three self-published books. Since 2006 I've been drawing comics for the web.
