Lisa began creating bears some 12 years ago and although they were still realistic in nature, they were hard sculpted pieces produced to help pay for her University education. Nowadays, all Lisa’s time and energies are devoted full-time to creating soft-sculpted bears or ‘3-D bear portraits’.
Lisa produces between 50-100 bears per year and works entirely on her own. All Bears upon Soar designs are one-off pieces and Lisa doesn’t generally make bears to order, she believes this is the best way to keep ideas fresh and not extinguish the enjoyment of creating.
All Lisa’s bear have a minimum of a double-jointed neck, right through to the impressive 12 jointed designs. Bears upon Soar bears are satisfyingly sturdy and designed to last through the generations.
Doug's Bears is the first and only authorized American stockists of Lisa's creations. We are very honored and proud to respresent her in the US, as we have several of her bears in our personal collection and know that her work is exceptional. You may also find Lisa's work at the Bear Garden, if you are lucky enough to find them in stock.
Here is a look at a group photo of the first commission of bears from Lisa. Enjoy!
