August's Fresh Arts Artist SPEAKeasy features Lisa Chow and Y. E. Torres (ms. YET), who will discuss the extensive collaboration behind their current joint exhibition in the Fresh Arts gallery, Once there was, once there wasn't: Two tales from the minds of Lisa Chow & Y. E. Torres.

About Lisa Chow:
A native Houstonian and self-taught artist, Lisa Chow graduated from The University of Texas in Austin with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. While working in information technology, she slowly started showing her art in local businesses and art markets. After a few years of unfulfilling corporate work and constant daydreams of becoming a ‘real’ artist, Lisa finally made the leap to pursue art full-time. Now, Lisa’s work can be found in private collections all over the world and her clients stretch from musicians to the technology industry.
