Lisa Jefferson always wanted to be an artist. Any subject matter was of interest and she drew constantly, filling many sketchbooks. She attended Colorado State University majoring in Graphic Design and Illustration, later working in the print industry for several years. For a while art was set aside for work and family but eventually Lisa was able to get back to painting full time. Lisa enjoys painting the local scenery in a realistic style using watercolors and acrylics as her favorite media. She has drawn inspiration for her art from living in the beautiful states of Colorado, Minnesota, and now the Lake Tahoe area in Nevada where she currently resides with her husband.
