LISE SILVA GOMES is an artist based in Berkeley, CA. She explores the power of symbols through her work with sacred knots, creating fiber jewelry and wall hangings with handmade thread-wrapped cord entwined in knot designs that serve as metaphors for life experiences, dreams, and deep desires. In 2013, she introduced her own line of knot-based art, accessories, and jewelry. She leads guided meditations and speaks, writes, and illustrates around the topic of creativity and ethics as an extension of her popular zine Craft & Practice.
