Lisa Tyndell Batchelder is a multidisciplinary artist whose work channels the spirit of Surrealism through immersive, narrative-driven environments that transcend the two-dimensional image. Her practice interlaces drawing, sculpture, light, and sound to create living dreamscapes—spaces where internal realities become tactile, sensory experiences. Each piece becomes a portal into layered worlds where subconscious forms, symbolic gestures, and mysterious presences unfold.

Batchelder’s surrealist approach is grounded in transformation. She blurs the line between vision and matter, between the divine and the earthly. Materials—whether clay, paper, tin, or found objects—are not passive tools but collaborators, each possessing agency. These elements dictate form and movement as Batchelder listens and responds, allowing the work to emerge as both artifact and revelation.

Rooted deeply in her Christian faith, Batchelder sees her creative process as a spiritual act. For her, making is a form of prayer and transference—a conduit through which God speaks not only to her but through her. Her installations and sculptures are not just visual experiences but embodied narratives: stories of reverence, rupture, and redemption rendered in texture, shadow, and echo.

By animating her imagery with soundscapes, lighting, and sculptural form, Batchelder brings surrealism to life—inviting viewers to step inside the thresholds of transformation, mystery, and belief.
