    A native of Memphis and graduate of Tulane University, Lisa James began
    drawing seriously in 2002 when a friend displayed one of Lisa’s drawings in her
    music studio.  People began to inquire, Lisa began to draw and Pencil Portraits
    was born.

   Even though her talent appeared at an early age, Lisa never used her ability for 
   anything other than personal entertainment.  Since she has never been formally
   trained, she never thought she could make any use of drawing.

Lisa is married and has two daughters.  She lives in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL and conducts her business at home from her drawing board and computer.  She now draws for people all over the world via email and digital photography.

The success of Pencil Portraits still has Lisa somewhat baffled.  As requests for drawings of things other than
children were made, she began to add subjects to her repertoire.  She has drawn everything from ferrets to
yachts.   However, her most popular portraits are her detailed, "photo-realistic" homes and "life-like" dogs.

At the suggestion of a friend, Lisa expanded her business to include customized note cards from her portraits
for announcements, holidays, new addresses and everyday. "Contributing to my family income is a plus," she
says, "but making people happy is my true reward."
