Social History of Art

- All About Lisa -

My name is lisa and i used to be a stay at home mom until a few years ago, when my kids grew up and left me to fend for myself!  These days I'm a practising witch doctor.  It isnt something I would have originally imagined I'd have gotten into but since my new neighbours from haiti moved in next door I have been bitten by the voodoo bug!  Voodoo magic and witch doctor isnt a bad thing at all, but all my kids think I'm going crazy! 

Just coz I am a little unpredictable and enjoy dabbling in the dark arts doesnt make me any more unusual than anyone else.  I try and explain this to my kids but they just dont listen, so instead I've recently been trying to fit into their new modern world.  I mean theres nothing wrong with a mixture of old school and new school.

- My New School Technology Adventures -

Since my kids didnt appreciate my witch doctor ways I decided to also take up being a Gadget Boffin.  In one room I have ancient books and mad ingredients for potions, and in my other room I've got a quad core 64bit Super PC hooked up to a wireless surround sound speaker system.  I have the latest Smart phone and even have the coolest new gadget of all, an Android Tablet

Mine is made by samsung, and my kids still think I'm mad saying "why didnt you get an Ipad"  but I have to let them know, that mummy might be older and you may think she doesnt know whats what, but mummy wants to play flash natively on her Tablet!
