Lisa Marie Kanouse

I think of Lisa often and her paintings inspire me daily. I´ve since moved from Tucson and live downtown in a big city. I´m thankful to have a bit of Tucson in my new home. There is such beauty and sensitivity in her paintings. I´m so sorry Lisa is no longer with us, but her paintings carry on her beauty.

Learned yesterday while at AZ FRAMES that beloved Tucson artist Lisa passed. What a gift she was/is for Tucson. Shine on Lisa, you inspire.

I knew Lisa from mutual friends and art openings in Tucson, she was such a bright star and so generous with her time and things, I have several little Lisa pieces I have always cherished. I was so shocked to hear of her passing and my heart hurts to know the world has been deprived of her light and unique gifts. My condolences to her family, friends that are family, and the love of her life Justin. I met them together a few times and you could just see their glow and how special their love...

My condolences to Lisa's family and loved ones. I met Lisa when I came to Tucson in 2013. I always appreciated her ebullient openness. I think her life,art, was definitely a reflection of Tucson, beautiful. She will be forever etched in my memory as joy and colorful and kind. Just remember art openings, here she comes dressed stylishly and unique, a contributor and participant of her community & enriching it's very core. So sorry to hear you left us too early.

I am so very sorry and saddened to learn of Lisa's passing. I didn't know her personally, but I felt as if I did through her lovely paintings. I own 7 of her paintings and they bring me such peace and happiness. May God bless Lisa's family and friends who are mourning the loss of a very special and talented person.

I I love you every single minute of every single day I will cherish the art in my home and think of you every day my heart. Holds you close❤❤❤

Our hearts remain overwhelmed by grief and sadness. Yet brightened daily by memories of our Binky. And soon our home will be joyfully beautified by her art.

Will always cherish her infectious smile, twinkle in her beautiful eyes and her wild laughter. So many, many memories over the past 4 decades. Always will love our Binky. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing her with us.

Lisa was my first friend at school, she was my best friend. We soent alot of time together as children. We played and learned. Being creative and different was part of our daily life then and now. When I moved to New Mexico we stayed intouch, I always visited her when I came to Tucson and she and her parents would always maje an effort to visit when they were able to. We had planed to work on projects together in the near future and were always encouraging eachother to reach for the stars....

What a love she was!
