The name 'The House of Ugly Fish' has an unusual origin and comes from when Lisa was a freelance artist. Her family often teased her that she was like Toad of Toad Hall, she’d start something full of enthusiasm only to decide she didn’t like it and give up not long after.

Lisa decided that to keep her focused on her new career she would paint under the name Lisa Villarospo which was the nearest she could get to 'Toad of Toad Hall' in Italian.

One day Lisa’s Godfather asked “Why have you called yourself The House of Ugly Fish?” Lisa replied that she didn’t know that she had.

It turns out that the Italian word ‘rospo’ means both ugly fish and toad. The conversation stuck with Lisa and thanks to her Godfather ‘The House of Ugly Fish’ was conceived.

Lisa Villarospo Bio

Born in 1967 in Manchester, England.
After a lifelong love affair with art, a hugely talented and creative artist broke into the world of commercial art.
It has been a long time coming, but finally Lisa Villarospo is gaining the recognition she richly deserves.
Her grounding is in Fine Art painting and she became well known for her original seascapes from 2000 onwards which have been the inspiration for many other artists producing similar work today.
After an opportunity arose in 2005 to study Fused Glass Art, Lisa honed her glass making skills and soon made her presence known.
Being half  Venetian, her love of Murano Glass has influenced her greatly, as can be seen in the striking colours used in her own Glass Art.
Many in the Art World have regarded Glass Art as a craft.  Together with The House of UglyFish, Lisa has transformed this perception and established a place for Fused Glass Art alongside Art on canvas and Art in frames.

It is now gaining popularity as Original Art.
Her work has taken the world of glass making by storm and is being requested globally.
Her huge success is in being able to bring her Fine Art background to the Fused Glass Art media. Landscapes, seascapes, abstracts and portraits are some of the subjects tackled by this innovative artist.
Commissions range from private individuals to Hospitals and A-List celebrities. Much of her work ends up in the hands of private collectors.
She is fast becoming one of the best glass artists in the world today.
Her work with The House of Ugly Fish includes bespoke Art for walls, Kitchen Splashbacks, pieces for Bathrooms, Swimming pool areas and Spas. It can be seen in hotels, restaurants, hospitals and offices.

It has also been featured on TV programmes such as Grand Designs and House Gift
