We are sure that you might have seen dioramas. They are the miniature worlds that are fixed in a box. Sounds great, right? We know it does because there is an artist, named Lisa Swerling, who has been making them for over the last 15 years. Not just this but she has also sold dioramas and people simply love my work.
Besides the selling part, she also tries to make a “labor-of-love” collection. This collection is exclusively for her but she feels great when her art gets shown in the exhibition. Like in 2019, when she ended up showing her work “Cinerama” in an exhibition in Telluride.
To give a glimpse of her work, we have listed some of them in this post. Scroll down to have a look.
