Welcome.
I'm the Orchard.
Well, at least one of the Orchards. Liza Orchar, born in Texarkana (Texas side) to a pecan baroness and a former Ad Man from New York City who deemed himself "Pecan Joe". Dad had high hopes of running the family pecan farm and his ultra-kitsch souvenir store empire. With little success, we packed our things and moved to Dallas. I think that was a good thing.
My Past
For the last five decades, I've birthed the "Non-Dairy Cow," and other wacky ideas for ad agencies and their corporate clients in NYC, Dallas, LA, and Mexico City. Honestly, selling my creative soul wasn't so bad. In fact, it was pretty darn fun.
The Present
After years of "thinking about it," I've taken a step back from the ad world, escaped to the mountains, and delved into my other creative passion. Having started with pastels, I am continuing to explore, learning new skills, and creating a body of work. It's not the perfect body, but I am making progress.
