She taught etching and monoprinting at the Experimental Etching Studio in Boston, and received a MFA in painting in 1989 at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts/Tufts University. Lisa works with color and pattern to create complex, imaginative landscapes. Inspired by the natural world, she incorporates the concepts of astronomy, archeology and biology into her work. Lisa has shown extensively throughout New England and her work is in numerous corporate and private collections including the Museum of Fine Arts and Children's Hospital in Boston, and she designed 22-foot long mosaic mural in the Frieda Garcia Park in Boston.
