Recent reviews of Discover Your Visual Vocabulary Painting Class
- 5/5 from Dawn Newton, attended Dec 2025: Lisa is an engaging teacher who did a great job with a class with a big variation in skill levels. I learned some interesting techniques and really enjoyed the variety of things we got to do -- drawing, color theory, composition, painting, mixed media adding pastels.

I grew up in a family that buzzed with creativity—makers, fabricators, musicians, textile artists, illustrators, ceramics enthusiasts, tinkerers, and fixers. “Let’s see…” was our motto, sparking endless ideas, projects, and lively discussions. There was always a story to be told. And that’s where you come in.“Your creative voice is your unique fingerprint. It is yours and yours alone.” (Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us by Susan Magsamen and Ira H. Cohen)Creative expression isn’t just about making art—it’s a way to reflect, connect, and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Plus, it releases dopamine, so it’s just plain fun!As an artist, learning and development professional, and former coach, I am committed to learner-centered experiences. In my workshops, I help you explore your favorite subjects and turn them into captivating works of art. We balance play and real art techniques to reveal art that is uniquely yours. Whether you’re a total beginner, a little curious, or an experienced artist open to trying something new, there’s always a seat for you at the table. Let's create something amazing together!
