Lisa has a Bachelor of Science in Logistics & Intermodal Transportation from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York.

It also earned her a 3rd Mate’s Sailing License and Active Duty Commission in the US Coast Guard.

Lisa has always enjoyed and had a passion for the arts. Upon her resignation from the military, she moved to San Francisco and earned her Master’s Degree in Fine Art from the Academy of Art University. She has been in numerous group and juried shows and has been nationally recognized.

Currently residing in Nashville, she is a studio artist, art instructor and emergency management specialist.

“I paint more than just pretty pictures, I paint experiences. My mission as an artist is to capture moments through visual expression… To take a fleeting moment and convey that impression, that feeling and connection, with my own interpretation on the canvas. My aim is not to represent what is seen, but to elicit what is felt.”
