24/7 with

Lisa Houck

Artist, Boston, MA

What keeps me awake at night: absolutely nothing.

I am guilty of: painting until 2 a.m. 

I still can’t get the hang of: ironic detachment.

If I could do it all over again: I would stay out of cars.

Something most people don’t know about me: there is an ecosystem in my purse.

The world would be a better place, if only: dogs ran the planet.

One thing I never want to do again: chase my dog out of Storrow Drive.

Words I live by: “Hey man, that’s your opinion” from The Big Lebowski.

The worst idea I’ve ever had: to try high heels.

Always... make something every day.

Never... say never.

I’d like to learn to: do a handstand.

Last major purchase: yoga classes.

My family: has a three pet limit.

My work: involves color.

My passion: Bernese Mountain Dogs.

My favorite possession: my bracelet watch.

My hometown: Cleveland Heights, OH.

The food I could eat every day: English muffins.

I am most proud of: my mosaic mural for a park in Boston.

I can’t live without: weekend walks.
