<!-- EDIT BELOW Lisa Dell Martello Hayward (born November 26th in Oxford, Ohio) is an American Glass Painter, Wildlife Artist, Occasional Instructor, Small Business Person, Historian, and Communication Theorist. She began painting as early as her left hand could hold a paintbrush and attending arts and craft shows at age ten along-side her beloved father, Donald K. Martello. Her father was a drama teacher for 36 years mostly at Maine South High School in Park Ridge, Illinois, and he taught Lisa to embrace her creativity and nurture her artistic side.

Lisa is a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and did graduate work at Miami University and the University of Iowa. She was one of only 4 graduate students chosen to present an academic paper at the annual Speech Communication Convention in Chicago, Illinois, while a graduate student at Miami. She was an award-winning leader on the Miami Individual Events Speech Team while a student and coached both Miami and Iowa as a graduate student. Along with the love of her life, husband Randall, Lisa has owned and operated antique and craft shoppes for decades in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Tennessee. She is the proud mother of 3 and daughter-in-law of 2. She and her family currently live in middle Tennessee. She is also the proud sister of 3 protective brothers. Though life has found her siblings spread throughout the country, they still remain close.

In the early 1990s she began painting almost exclusively on usable glass items such as mason jars, wineglasses, salt & pepper shakers, shot glasses, and more. Through the years she has created and developed a method of painting on glass known as "Layered Glass Painting." This innovative process expands the possibilities of glass painting. It is a trademarked technique owned exclusively by Lisa and her company (Our House Crafts). She has painted more than 35,000 pieces using this technique and has instructed countless other budding artists to use this technique as well. As of 2018, she has written 7 instructional books on "Layered Glass Painting".

Lisa has won awards as Outstanding Artist at a number of shows including the Tallman House Arts Festival in Janesville, Wisconsin, and the Arts and Crafts Festival in Amery, Wisconsin. In 2017, she was honored to be one of only 32 artists invited to participate in Dollywood's Harvest Festival in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. She has also been a featured artist in Santa's Village at "The Dancing Lights of Christmas" in the Nashville, Tennessee area for 2 years running.

Lisa Hayward is an artist whose work may be seen at more than 60 arts and crafts shows annually. Her love of birds and flowers is apparent in her work. For more information on Lisa or "Layered Glass Painting", refer to the Our House Craft websites and youtube channel.
