Massachusetts-based artist Lisa DeJohn has always drawn from a variety of influences for her work, the strongest being nature and the arts. Lisa's early life was inspired by her mother, an artist immersed in creative endeavors and her father, an avid outdoorsman, who was acutely aware of the subtleties in nature; a trait Lisa credits with creating her deep interest in the nuances of her surroundings. In 1991 Lisa attended the University of Oregon where she earned a degree in Fine Arts. She then moved to Portland, Oregon in 1995 where she began her career as a painter, designer and mixed media artist.
In the 14 years since she began her career, Lisa's work has flourished to also include illustration and surface design. She also continues to be prolific with her fine art and has shown in solo and group exhibits for over a decade from Portland, Oregon to Montreal, Quebec. Her art has been featured in The Boston Globe, Elle Decor and Marie Claire Italia. Her work has also been highlighted in numerous web blogs such as Design*Sponge, Vogue.com, Art Esprit, Apartment Therapy, Print and Pattern, Paper Crave and Bloesom just to name a few.
In 2005 Lisa moved with her husband and two Chihuahua Terriers to New England where she currently lives and works.
