My paintings are all original, and completely one-of-a-kind. They are created with only a palette knife.
I do not make prints or reproductions of my work, so you can be sure if you purchase one of my paintings, no one else will have the exact same one!

I particularly enjoy painting en plein air (outdoors, on location). Being out in the beautiful Hawaiian sunshine, breathing in that sweet "beach air", there is no better way to spend a painting day!

My original palette knife oil paintings are available thru these links:

When I'm not painting, I enjoy surfing, snowboarding, skating, traveling,
and working outdoors in my tropical garden. But most of all, just having fun in my
Island Dream Life!



Every painting starts with the Bry Magic Paw!




The story of how Lisabongzee came to be:
I used to spend most of my days after school at the beach, and most of the clothes I wore were Billabong.
My best friends name was Jill. As a joke, I started calling her Jillabong,
but she informed me "Lisa, I am not a surfer, and I do not wear Billabong like you, so YOU are Lisabong".
My last name started with Z, and somehow, Zee got added to the end. Everyone called me Lisabongzee, even my teachers.
My art teacher asked me to compete in a Sea Life Park painting contest.
He suggested I sign my painting Lisabongzee - as an artist name - so I did.
I had painted a Mama Humpback Whale with calf, and surprisingly, it won first place!
After that, I signed my artwork Lisabongzee since it had brought me good luck, never imagining that I would one day become a professional artist.
The name stuck, the artwork grew and grew, and now it would be hard for me to change my name, even though many times it gives me hassles!
