| Who is The Pumpkin Lady®? The
Pumpkin Lady® is better known to friends and family as Lisa Berberette.
Having never carved more than the traditional grinning jack o' lantern,
she discovered her unique talent while carving pumpkins with her son
five Halloweens ago. Lisa purchased a pumpkin saw carving kit from
a local drug store and began carving. Each design became easier, and
she soon created her own designs when friends and local businesses
started ordering carved pumpkins for Halloween. Word soon spread and before Lisa knew it, her carvings were appearing in museums and on television. Artificial pumpkins made it possible for her carving to continue year round and allowed her to refine her carving skills to include time consuming, intricate portraits of well known figures such as Diane Sawyer, Charlie Gibson, Larry King, Jack Hanna and Oprah Winfrey(Lisa appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2001 and gave Oprah her own pumpkin portrait.) Lisa has a line of carving books and kits in stores now. The Pumpkin Lady® is available for personal appearances and interviews. Please send your request via our contact form. (Above photo By P.
