Lisa Purcell
ARTIST BIO:
Lisa was born in Maine in 1965. She grew up in one of the most turbulent times in the nation's history. She also grew up in one of the most beautiful spots in the world. These early days, surrounded by so many people seeking to change the world influenced her deeply; even the music in that era filled her with a sense of what the world could be and the feeling that anything could be possible. After graduating from college she moved to Baltimore, MD where she found work as an artist's model and also a job at a local gallery. Her grandfather being an artist she had always been interested in art. But this closer contact with the art field sparked a desire to become an artist herself. As she has grown older she has lost some of that youthful idealism but still thinks it is important to bring joy to others, to encourage others, and to lift each other up.
