Her practice is comprised of printmaking and distinct, mixed-media weaving techniques, including woven sculptures, vessels and body adornment. Weaving is an important medium for Waup, symbolising social and cultural continuity; it is an act of cohesion between the past and present and offers Waup a metaphorical connection to place and kin.

Lisa was a finalist in 2018, 2017 and 2016 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award’s. In 2019 she was a winner of an award in Victorian Craft Awards and her designs were featured at 2017 Melbourne Fashion Week, and a 2020 was a finalist in the National Indigenous Fashion Award’s.
