Beautiful Memories of Your Life and Our World
Memory Box Creations
My Memory Boxes hang as art in your home. They express a nostalgia for Ontario’s past.
Each box is one of a kind:
- different sizes
- different contents
- different frames
My name is Lisa Staton. I make the Memory Boxes , working alone in my studio in Exeter, Ontario. I search Ontario for artifacts and treasures that artfully tell the story of our past.
Custom Creations
I will also work with you to assemble your treasured objects to tell your story and give substance to your precious memories.

Key and Lock Gold Green
$125
This whimsical piece probably fits a definition of collage more than my other work. www.artincontext.org/collage-art/#:~:text=Collage%20within%20art%20was%20first,cutting%2Dedge%20assemblages%20around%201910
I combined Found Objects with coloured paper, cardboard, old book pages, and my own handwriting. I took the colour theme from the green and gold of the frame. www.framedestination.com/blog/picture-frames/a-brief-history-of-picture-frames I kept to a common idea throughout my work of a juxtaposition of the ornate (the frame) with plainer industrial elements (metal locks and doorknob plates). I like the decorative part of the key, which is a microcosm of the utilitarian versus decoration, 8”x 10”.
