Lisa Bartell is a representational expressionist painter, focusing on the imagery of nature.
Lisa was born in Albany, New York, and moved extensively throughout the United States as well as overseas.
Bartell’s oil paintings are inspired by the unlimited creative details of the natural world. Subjectively interpreting
these details through drawing and painting, allows the artist’s discovery of an internal place of healing and a
connection with life’s creativity on a grander scale. Bartell’s psychological
understanding of healing, translates to a unique visual expression.
Bartell began her art career as an illustrator and designer. She
received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Kent State University, Ohio, and a
Master of Fine Arts from the University of Memphis, where she studied under
John Robinette, medal winner of The Society of Illustrators in New York City. Bartell
studied drawing and painting at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, PA.
Since 2002, Bartell has strictly focused on painting. She has exhibited
in North Carolina, Tennessee,
New York State, and Massachusetts. Her work is in several private collections.
Bartell’s painting, “Filled With Colors”, was featured in the 2004 edition of North Carolina’s Raleigh News & Observer
“What’s Up: Critic’s Picks On Best Art”. She is the recipient of the Artist Showcase Award for
“The Healing Power of Art” and the Award of Excellence for “Herstory”. Both are Manhattan Arts on-line
exhibits curated by Renee Phillips of the International Association of Art Critics.
Lisa Bartell currently lives and works in North Carolina.
